EV Registration Fees in Mississippi
Mississippiis one of the states that charges electric vehicles extra at registration — typically justified as replacing the gas taxes EVs don't pay. Here's exactly what it adds for a two-year-old $45,000 vehicle:
| Fuel type | Annual registration cost | vs. gas |
|---|---|---|
| Gas | $29.00 | — |
| Plug-in hybrid | $122.00 | +$93.00 |
| Battery EV | $214.00 | +$185.00 |
The EV-specific line items
- Electric vehicle fee$185.00
Mississippi's state registration runs about $29 per year for a passenger car ($14 tag fee plus the $15 road and bridge privilege tax), but counties levy ad valorem taxes on vehicles (assessed at 30% of depreciated value against local mill rates of roughly 46–172) collected with your tag — that's why identical cars cost very different amounts in different counties. EV and hybrid fees started at $150/$75 and are CPI-indexed each July; current amounts are approximately $185 and $93.
