Electric vehicle adoption rates show strong regional patterns globally and within the U.S.:
United States
- Coastal states dominate: California leads with 3.5% adoption, followed by Washington, Oregon, and parts of the East Coast. Washington, D.C., and Hawaii also rank among the top adopters.
- Political correlation: The 10 highest-adopting states lean Democratic, while most Republican-leaning states fall below the national average (1.2%).
Global Leaders
- China, Europe, and the U.S.: These regions accounted for 95% of global EV sales in 2023, with nearly one in five cars sold being electric.
- Emerging markets:
- Mexico: EV registrations grew 80% in 2023 (15,000 vehicles) due to integration with U.S. supply chains and IRA subsidies.
- Uzbekistan: Sales reached ~10,000 EVs in 2023 through partnerships with Chinese automakers like BYD.
- Middle East: Jordan (45% EV sales share) and UAE (13%) lead, driven by reduced import duties.
Regional outliers: Colombia and Costa Rica show modest growth (5,000–6,000 annual EV sales), while Africa and most of Eurasia remain below 1% adoption.
