The short answer: Kansas Statutes 8-143, as amended by L. 2025, ch. 64, section 1, effective January 1, 2026, sets the annual license fee for a passenger vehicle at $30 when the gross weight is 4,500 pounds or less and $40 when the gross weight is more than 4,500 pounds. In the same list, the annual license fee is $70 for an electric hybrid passenger vehicle, $100 for a plug-in electric hybrid passenger vehicle, and $165 for an all-electric passenger vehicle. Those three amounts are the whole fee for that vehicle, not a surcharge added to the $30 or $40 fee.

Confirm the fee on the motor-vehicle renewal notice before you pay. The figure above is not a quote from your county clerk. Electricity after the car is registered is a different bill.
