California Leads Nation in Electric Vehicles, National Total Less than 1%

California currently is home to almost half of all the nation’s plug-in hybrid (PEV) vehicles. 

There, the number is still modest, with only about five out of every 1,000 registered vehicles being a PEV.

On a national level, in 2013, there were about 70,000 battery electric vehicles and 104,000 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles—less than 1% of the 226 million registered vehicles in the United States.

Total U.S. sales of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) have increased in recent years, but still represent only about 0.7% of new vehicle sales in 2014 so far, up from 0.6% and 0.4% in 2012.in 2013 and 0.4% in 2012.
