In Illinois, USA, there's outright no vehicle inspections AFAIK for electric vehicles whatsoever after the sale of the vehicle has completed. There's a yearly registration fee paid to the state, and the state has "emissions testing" for vehicles over 2y (model year) old, but EVs are explicitly exempt and so AFAIK the only inspections that would ever occur are in the event an owner has their vehicle serviced by a dealer.

In my US State they don't even do emissions testing except in areas with air quality issues. I've never had a mandatory car inspection in 50 years of driving.

I'm sure this adds to the terrible headlights, noise, and smoke I see coming from vehicles here.
