Renewal for Illinois EV plates is this year. $35 for two more years. It happens in the odd years. You cannot renew on line, you either have to mail in a check or go to one of the offices. More than likely you received a letter, or will get one soon. If you purchased EV plates recently, the letter might not show up.
In past years the branch DMV offices didn't carry the EV stickers. That may have changed in the past two years. I do know for certain the office on Elston in Chicago has them, they are a full service office.

Interesting that Illinois would charge you two different prices - $48 and $35. That's well worth asking at special services, if you care about the $13 (probably not worth the time).
EV plates are handled by Special Services at the DMV / Secretary of State office. That requires a full service office - like the one on Elston. Deerfield, and Libertyville and most certainly not full service offices.
She asked if I wanted EV plates or standard.
I asked wht is what and why and how are they different.
Se said standard land-o-lincoln plates are $110 and that per year. EV plates are $245 and again each year.
?! WHy would I want EV plates?! I asked
She said previously I HAD to take them and bigger cost cause they wont be getting gas tax from me. But now can have standard plates and that is what I did
It is also my understanding that you will not be able to keep your non-EL plate on your Tesla come renewal time BECAUSE they want you to pay the 251 dollars to register it.
