Before adjustment of licence fees
Before 1 Nov 2025, the licence fees for electric private cars are charged by vehicle unladen weight. The calculation method is as follows:

Unladen weight of electric private car	Annual licence fee ($) ^{# ^}
not exceeding 1 tonne unladen weight; and an additional fee for each 250kg unladen weight or part thereof	572 124

# The fee for a licence for four months is 35% of that for an annual licence, plus an additional fee of $30.
^ Exclusive of the Traffic Accident Victims Assistance (TAVA) Fund levy (the annual and 4-month TAVA Fund Levies are $114 and $38 respectively).

After adjustment of licence fees
With effect from 1 Nov 2025 onwards, the licence fee for electric private cars will be calculated based on their rated power and the Government will adjust the licence fee by phases. The details are as follows：
