California Says Electric Cars Now Make Up a Fifth of Auto Sales
From Bloomberg News reporter Dana Hull:
One out of every five cars sold in California is now powered by a battery, registration data released Wednesday by the California New Car Dealers Association shows.
In the first nine months of 2023, electric vehicles accounted for 21.5% of cars sold in California, a figure that’s more than doubled in the past two years. When combined with hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fuel-cell vehicles, the year-to-date figure is 35.4%.
California has long been a champion of electric cars, and Governor Gavin Newsom said he’ll phase out sales of new, gasoline-powered cars by 2035 as part of the state’s fight against climate change. Elon Musk’s Tesla Inc. was founded in the state, and the EV adoption curve has accelerated faster in California than in other parts of the country.
