Hi there.

I am being asked to pay $1250 for "Motor Registration - New/Transfer" on top of the purchase price for my new Hyundai Kona Electric.

This seems rather steep and I have asked for a break down of those costs.

Can you advise if this is fair for a new electric vehicle for private use?

Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

Hi there,
This sounds like a normal "on-road" cost for a new vehicle at a dealer. There is not really any industry standard rules for these fees with regards to costs and what is or isn't included in them.
