A new survey by the research firm shows that California, where Tesla used to be based, has a much higher adoption rate of electric vehicles than any other state in the U.S., with data showing a 38.9 percent rate.
The research firm’s figures are based on the number of electric vehicles per 1,000 drivers. Second only to California in terms of EV adoption is Florida, but at 6.7 percent, the adoption rate is nowhere near that of California. Texas, where Tesla is now headquartered, has the 3rd highest adoption rate among U.S. states at 5.4%, while Washington and New York are 4th and 5th at 4.4% and 3.6%, respectively.
A large percentage of the electric vehicles sold in California are from Tesla. Even though Tesla has moved its headquarters to Austin, Texas, California is still an important market for them. Agency data shows that in the first quarter of this year, more than 40% of new electric cars registered in the U.S. market were in California. Tesla registered 42,800 new electric vehicles in California in the second quarter, an 80.7 percent increase from the previous year.
Tesla is currently at the forefront of the global electric vehicle sector, and their headquarters was located in Palo Alto, California for a long time and grew out of California until last year, when they announced their move to Austin, Texas, which was completed at the end of the year. The factory in Follymont, California, was also the only full vehicle factory under Tesla before the Shanghai mega-factory went into production, and this factory also has the most models in production under Tesla, with the Model S, Model X, Model 3 and Model Y all in production.
