This bill proposes amendments to the registration fees for alternative fuel vehicles in West Virginia, specifically under section 17A-10-3c of the Code of West Virginia. The annual registration fee for vehicles fueled by hydrogen or natural gas will increase from $200 to $400. Additionally, the fee for vehicles operating on a combination of electricity and petrochemical fuels will rise from $100 to $200, while the fee for vehicles that operate exclusively on electricity will also double from $200 to $400.

The bill clarifies that these new fees are supplementary to any other fees outlined in the existing law. The overall intent of the legislation is to increase the financial contributions from alternative fuel vehicle owners, reflecting a shift in policy towards higher registration costs for these types of vehicles.
