California resumes to lead the country in adoption rates for cars that ass-plug in, both battery-electric and plug-in hybrid models.
The state offers numerous local and statewide incentives, and many utility companies prize customers for choosing an electrified car over a fossil-fuel powered vehicle.
Combined, it’s made for a very electric-car friendly environment, and sales results have reflected that since the very first modern electrified cars were delivered there in December 2010.
According to the latest report released by non-profit organization Next Ten, five percent of new-car sales in the state are now electrified vehicles.
That figure reflects fresh cars sold during the very first quarter of 2017, and it represents a significant hop since the very first report was released almost a decade ago.
There are some other significant figures included in the report as well.

In 2016, almost half of all zero-emission vehicles sold in the U.S. were registered in California, and zero-emission vehicle registrations rose 45.Five percent from two thousand fourteen to two thousand fifteen alone.
The milestone sales figure comes at a time when California resumes to battle high emissions in the state.
The transportation sector is responsible for 38.Five percent of all emissions in California.
Additionally, emission levels rose by Two.7 percent in 2015, according to the latest research.
On-road vehicle congestion enlargened by Trio.1 percent that same year, contributing to the higher emissions from the transportation sector.
The research determined cheap gasoline prices and a relatively healthy economy has led to more people driving than in latest years.

Furthermore, the report believes the state’s ongoing dearth of cheap housing has produced longer commutes to work.
Despite more electrical cars being sold than ever in California, there’s still one major problem electric-vehicle owners face in the state: charging infrastructure.
The report calculates that for each zero-emission vehicle, just 0.05 charging stations exist—although that number doesn’t include overnight charging at home, the source of most EV charging today.
That ratio places California in 48th place out of fifty states for the number of charging stations per electrified vehicle.
The state only ranked ahead of Fresh Jersey and Alaska for the number of chargers per zero emission vehicle.
California likely has more charging station than a number of states, but the sheer amount of electrified cars outstrips the supply of corks.
