Florida Registration Renewal

[moosetags]

We renewed our Florida vehicle registrations yesterday. We were expecting a big cost for the Rivian registration as we had heard that Florida was implementing a $250 upcharge for EV's to offset the loss of fuel tax.

As it turned out, the R1T's tag was $260 for a two year registration. $130 per year is based on weight of the vehicle which is shown as 6,821# on the registration. Our 2020 Silverado 2500 was $155 per year based on its weight of 7,953#.

You’re much less than AZ:
- 2022 R1T = $430.82/yr
- 2020 LR Defender = $690.60/yr
- 1966 C10 = $30.32/yr

Florida has proposed an additional $200 per year for EVs, but it hasn't passed yet.

Thank you for that information. I had heard $250.

So jealous. Colorado here and I paid about $1100.

I guess that makes me good with my R1T until December of 2025.

Is California registration so much because it is an EV, or is it so high because the Rivian is so expensive?

Indeed, $260/2 years makes it affordable. Thank goodness for Florida's slow uptake and resistance to new things, if it weren't for the cheaper tags, registration, renewal, and sales tax exemption for military out of state, we wouldn't be able to afford the R1's. I'm working on taking delivery of our R1S I'm Oregon to avoid Illinois sales tax (IL and FL don't have reciprocity and IL charges it when delivered out of FL but registered in FL).

Just renewed R1S this week in Florida. $57 total for a year.

combination of cost of r1T plus it has to be registered as a Commercial vehicle because of gross weight...

Not weight. All pickups that don’t have a permanently installed camper are categorized as commercial in CA. R1S are similar weight and are non-commercial.
