In 2022, California will account for 40% of all zero-emission vehicle sales in the United States

Reuters – According to data, about 19% of all cars sold in California last year were zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs), accounting for 40% of all ZEV sales in the United States, including hybrid vehicles.

US Vice President Joe Biden has called for EVs and plug-in hybrids to account for 50% of all new vehicle sales by 2030. (PHEV).

California Governor Gavin Newsom first announced the plan in September 2020 to phase out gasoline-only vehicles by 2035, and the state moved last year to require all new vehicles sold in the state by 2035 to be PHEV or fully electric.

In 2021, ZEVs will account for approximately 12% of all vehicles sold in California.

Californians purchased approximately 51,000 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles last year, and approximately 80,000 electric vehicle chargers will be installed in the state by 2022.
