A few months in the past, I coated knowledge from the US Division of Power exhibiting which states had probably the most EV registrations. Naturally, the leaders have been the most important, most populous states. So, that doesn’t present us which states are main on a per capita foundation.
A reader, “john smith,” was eager to level that out and to additionally do the work of determining the per capita leaders! Listed here are the outcomes:
- California: 26.8%
- Colorado: 25.5%
- Washington: 24.6%
- District of Columbia: 20.4%
- Oregon: 17.0%
- New Jersey: 15.6%
- Hawaii: 14.1%
- Vermont: 13.7%
- Maryland: 13.2%
- Nevada: 13.1%
- Massachusetts: 12.3%
- Delaware: 11.9%
- Connecticut: 11.2%
- Virginia: 10.1%
“California continues to be in first place, however Florida and Texas don’t even crack 10%,” he added.
Certainly, California continues to be the chief! Apparently, Colorado, which has additionally had robust EV purchaser incentives for years, is correct on California’s tail, and Washington (additionally having had incentives for years) is correct on Colorado’s tail.
What’s fascinating as properly, and highlighted by John, is that there have been already 13 states and DC with greater than 10% of auto gross sales being electrical!
Now, there’s a key level to notice right here. The EV registration knowledge solely went by the top of 2023…. So, we lack all of 2024’s EV gross sales, in addition to gross sales from the start of 2025 in fact. So, the rating should have shifted a bit, and EV share in all probability climbed in most of these states — virtually definitely did. There are in all probability different states with greater than 10% EV share now too.
If you happen to dwell in any of those states, are you shocked with the outcomes? Did you already know the place your state stood?
As a Floridian, I’ve to say that I’m fairly dissatisfied. Additionally, I do hope the state has damaged the ten% barrier by now. I see electrical automobiles continuously, and the variety of non-Tesla electrical vehicles, SUVs, and vans on the street has undoubtedly surged up to now 12 months or so. Nevertheless, I dwell in only one tiny pocket of the state in fact, so I don’t know the way a lot of that’s simply taking place round right here versus statewide. General, although, I solely see constructive indicators on the street, so I’m optimistic EV share has risen strongly within the Sunshine State.
