The short answer: The Missouri Department of Revenue Special Fuel Decals page prints a Fees Chart effective January 1, 2026. For a passenger vehicle the chart lists $150 a year for electric, LP, or natural gas and $75 a year for a plug-in hybrid, plus a $9 processing fee. The same chart lists $150 and $75 at 18,000 pounds or less and for a school bus; $200 and $100 from 18,001 to 36,000 pounds with an F tab; $300 and $150 in that weight range without an F tab; $375 and $187.50 at 36,001 pounds or more with an F tab; $1,500 and $750 at 36,001 pounds without an F tab; and $300 and $150 for a local bus, a commercial bus, or a transit bus.

| AFDC law 5607, Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Decal | AFDC law 5607 lists the annual alternative-fuel decal fee for a vehicle that obtains the decal as $105 for a passenger vehicle, school bus, or commercial vehicle of 18,000 pounds or less, $140 for a farm or farming-transportation vehicle with an F license plate from 18,001 to 36,000 pounds, $210 for a passenger-carrying or other motor vehicle from 18,001 to 36,000 pounds, $300 for a farm or farming-transportation vehicle with an F license plate of 36,000 pounds or more, and $1,200 for any other motor vehicle of 36,000 pounds or more. It says the decal fee increases annually by 20% through 2026 for all weight classes, and the decal fee for a plug-in hybrid of model year 2018 or later is one-half of the listed fee for that weight class. Those amounts are not the dollars on the Department of Revenue chart effective January 1, 2026. |

What to do with this number
Confirm the fee on the motor-vehicle renewal notice before you pay. The figure above is not a quote from your county clerk. Electricity after the car is registered is a different bill.
