Washington State DMV MCP — the Department of Licensing's VIN-level electric-vehicle population and its monthly vehicle-registration transaction counts. Keyless.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.

Washington has no agency called "the DMV": vehicle registration and driver licensing are run by the Department of Licensing (DOL). Both names appear in the tool descriptions because agents search for "WA DMV".

Keyless. Both datasets are public Socrata resources on data.wa.gov; no app token is required at the volumes this pack issues.

Per-state gotchas

• hmzg-s6q4 counts transactions, not vehicles. This is the trap in this state. King County processes roughly 160,000 registration transactions a month, so summing every month back to fiscal 2017 returns 17.6M for one county — arithmetically correct and completely misleading. wadmvregistrationtransactions therefore pins every query to one fiscal year (the latest by default) or one calendar month, and labels the result "registration transactions during \". For the size of a registered fleet, use wadmvevpopulation.
• Washington fiscal years run July 1 – June 30. Fiscal 2026 covers July 2025 through June 2026. Data starts at fiscal 2017.
• The month column stores the last day of the month. Filter it with datetruncym, which the month argument (YYYY-MM) does for you; results are reported back as YYYY-MM.
• Case differs by column. Counties and cities are plain mixed case (King, Seattle); makes and models are upper case (TESLA, MODEL 3).
• Roughly two-thirds of EV rows carry electricrange 0. 188,456 of 289,564 vehicles sit in the "Eligibility unknown as battery range has not been researched" CAFV bucket with a literal zero range, which drags any average down. The genuinely researched vehicles average ~133 miles. Treat averageelectricrangemiles as a floor, not a spec.
• Socrata reports an all-zero average as the string "0E-24". The shared govNumber helper strips exponent notation into NaN, so this pack parses averages with its own avgMiles.
• evtype has exactly two values, spelled in full: Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). The evtype argument accepts BEV / PHEV / plain phrases.
• sumofreturnedrows is not a total. Row lists are cut off by limit; totalelectricvehicles and totaltransactionsinperiod are separate full counts over the same filters and are the figures to quote.
