Do electric cars get inspected in Pennsylvania?

I live in Pennsylvania, and I just bought an electric car. Can you let me know if electric cars still get inspected in PA?

I love Pennsylvania, and yes, your electric car will still need to get inspected. If you’ve purchased an
electric vehicle
, you’ve probably heard that your clean zero-emission comes with benefits. Your new ride exempts you from some of the old hassles and maintenance that came with your gas guzzler. One of these expectations includes emissions testing. Though that’s more obvious, you don’t need to take your electric car to do an emissions test. However, because of the laws of the US, every automobile is subject to an annual vehicle inspection. Even if you drive an EV and are exempt from the emissions program, you will still need a sticker for your car that indicates your vehicle’s exemptions. So go ahead and put a reminder on your calendar to avoid missing your yearly exemption. It’s great to learn more about the changes associated with owning an electric car.
