Pennsylvania EV Fees and Incentives (2026)

Pennsylvania charges an annual road user charge of $250 for electric cars and $63 for plug-in hybrids in 2026, paid at registration or renewal in full or in monthly installments; hybrids pay nothing extra. From 2027 it is adjusted for inflation each January.

The first inflation adjustment takes effect January 1, 2027; PennDOT has not yet published the 2027 amount.

No state-funded rebate or tax credit for buying an electric car is open in Pennsylvania as of October 2026; check your electric utility for local rebates.

Pennsylvania's Alternative Fuel Vehicle Rebate, which covered EVs and plug-in hybrids, has closed.

The federal clean vehicle tax credits (up to $7,500 for a new EV, up to $4,000 for a used EV, and the commercial clean vehicle credit) ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. A vehicle still qualifies if a binding written contract was signed and a payment made by that date, even if it was delivered later; the credit is then claimed for the year of delivery.
