Common questions

Which states are actually covered?

Eighteen state motor-vehicle agencies, because those are the ones publishing machine-readable data. A 50-state survey found roughly 30 states publish nothing but PDFs. Registrations and EV adoption come from California, New York, Washington, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Connecticut, Hawaii and Texas; office directories from ten states; and live field-office wait times from North Carolina and Oregon.

Why is there a separate pack per state instead of one DMV tool?

Because the data is not comparable. California publishes a ZIP-code snapshot of registered vehicles by fuel and make, New York a record-level file, Washington monthly registration transactions, Maryland county-months, Pennsylvania county-quarters, Texas statewide fiscal-year totals. A single tool would need arguments that are meaningless for most states, and any cross-state total it produced would be wrong. Each agency gets its own tools with its own real arguments, and ?vertical=dmv groups them.

Can I get DMV wait times for my state?

Only if that state publishes them, and almost none do. North Carolina and Oregon are the only two US states with a live public wait-time feed — 148 and 60 offices respectively, with average wait, queue length and open/closed status. Everywhere else the feed is captcha-gated, blocked, app-only or absent. For those states the office tools return posted hours instead.

How current is the registration data?

It varies by state and every response says which period it is for. California publishes annual snapshots, Maryland monthly, Pennsylvania quarterly, and New York and Washington refresh within the month. Where a state runs behind, the tools return the most recent period that actually has data and label it, rather than reporting an unpublished period as zero.
