Yeah.  It's a HUF, Highway Use Fee.  It applies to Hybrids, electric, and ICEs that are high MPG because the owners don't pay as much in gas taxes.

That’s a jk…is it an annual fee based on curb weight or miles driven?

This is the standard way:

HUF CalculationThe HUF’s calculation is based on:

• The vehicle's fuel efficiency (combined miles per gallon (MPG) rating)
• The fuel tax rate at the time the vehicle was registered (updated annually July 1)
• The average number of miles driven by all Virginians
• HUF is 85% of the difference between taxes paid by a vehicle with a 23.7 rating and taxes paid by a vehicle using the manufacturer's combined MPG rating based on the average miles driven by all Virginians

HUF= [((11,600 average miles traveled * fuels tax rate) / 23.7) - ((11,600 average miles traveled * fuels tax rate) / vehicle's MPG rating)] * .85Refer to the HUF chart below for the current fuels tax rat

Or this

What is the Mileage Choice Program?Virginia's Mileage Choice Program is a voluntary option for drivers of eligible vehicles to pay their highway use fee on a per-mile basis instead of an annual highway use fee at the time of registration renewal. You only pay for the miles you drive, so if you drive less, you pay less. And, if you end up driving a little more, you never pay more than your annual highway use fee.
