Where to verify + pay
The District imposes no EV surcharge. Registration is weight-based, and new BEVs under 5,000 lbs actually get a reduced registration fee for the first two years. PHEVs get no EV-specific benefit. (Separately, EVs lost a one-time excise-tax exemption in 2025 — that is not an annual surcharge.)
