How many cars are in South Carolina?
I want to register a car in South Carolina for the first time. I noticed that registrations cost $40, which is far less expensive than other places I’ve lived. But if the state gets $40 for each registered car, they must be making a pretty penny. How many cars are there in South Carolina?

South Carolina
has one of the lowest car registration fees in the country. But you’re right—with 15% population growth and a growing number of cars, the state government is making a small fortune.The U.S. Census Bureau reported that there were 4.6 million cars in South Carolina in 2020. On an annual basis, that would mean that South Carolina generates $184 million a year on registration fees alone, which isn’t too shabby.
