For Massachusetts, we search through sources like the MassDOT website, EnergySage, Electrek, and media sites. Massachusetts is not mentioned among the lists of states with electric vehicle fees according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, and according to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, there's no special annual fee for electric vehicles, the only cost associated with owning an EV is the one-time plate replacement fee.
