A few months in the past, I lined knowledge from the US Division of Power exhibiting which states had essentially 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 below 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 is still in first place, but Florida and Texas don’t even crack 10%,” he added.
Certainly, California continues to be the chief! Apparently, Colorado, which has additionally had sturdy EV purchaser incentives for years, is true on California’s tail, and Washington (additionally having had incentives for years) is true on Colorado’s tail.
What’s attention-grabbing as effectively, 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 way of the tip of 2023…. So, we lack all of 2024’s EV gross sales, in addition to gross sales from the start of 2025 after all. So, the rating will need to have shifted a bit, and EV share in all probability climbed in most of these states — nearly definitely did. There are in all probability different states with greater than 10% EV share now too.
Should you dwell in any of those states, are you stunned with the outcomes? Did you already know the place your state stood?
As a Floridian, I’ve to say that I’m fairly disillusioned. Additionally, I do hope the state has damaged the ten% barrier by now. I see electrical autos always, and the variety of non-Tesla electrical automobiles, SUVs, and vehicles on the highway has undoubtedly surged prior to now 12 months or so. Nevertheless, I dwell in only one tiny pocket of the state after all, so I don’t know the way a lot of that’s simply occurring round right here versus statewide. General, although, I solely see constructive indicators on the highway, so I’m optimistic EV share has risen strongly within the Sunshine State.
