“Electric vehicle owners in Illinois save big on gas money and car maintenance, but registering their rides for 2020 will come with a price hike.

The Illinois Secretary of State’s office recently notified electric vehicle owners by mail that beginning January 1, 2020, the yearly base registration fee for electric vehicle or ‘EL” plates would be increasing to $251 annually. Registration fees for the ‘EL” plates previously cost $17.50 per year and were renewable every two years.”
