Annual battery-electric surcharge in Virginia
$131/yr
billed annually at renewal.
Plug-in hybrid treatment
Plug-in hybrids are not charged in Virginia — the surcharge applies only to full battery-electric (and, in some states, hydrogen) vehicles.
2026–2027 changes
No one-time change is scheduled, but Virginia's fee is indexed and is adjusted automatically over time, so the amount can drift year to year.
Where to verify + pay
Virginia uses a Highway Use Fee, not a flat surcharge. The BEV figure is a flat $131.88 per year for July 2025 through June 2026, updated each July. PHEVs pay no flat EV fee; fuel-efficient gasoline and hybrid vehicles pay an MPG-based fee that varies by vehicle. A per-mile Mileage Choice Program is an opt-in alternative.
