Although the market share for hybrid and electric vehicles in the US has grown by 85.3% in the last 5 years, the latest study by iSeeCars.com reveals that the growth rate varies dramatically between states.
Could a potential adoption threshold affect the current administration’s goal of having electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles account for 67% of new vehicle sales in less than 10 years?
iSeeCars analyzed more than 20 million cars and found that the most aggressive states increased their share of the electric and hybrid vehicle market by more than 200% in the last 5 years, while the slowest growing states increased less than 50%. .

“It is encouraging to see the national average growth rate go from 33.3% to 85.3% last year alone, but it is concerning to see states like Oregon, California and Washington slowing down in green vehicle adoption” said Karl Brauer, executive analyst at iSeeCars.com.
“These three states lead the country in market share for electric and hybrid vehicles, but are now among the slowest to grow their market share for these vehicles.
If this pattern continues with other states, it might be very difficult to get the US anywhere near 50 percent of the market share for alternative fuel vehicles in the next 10 years.”
