The state hits target two years ahead of schedule. Drivers in San Diego County bought 10,833 EVs in the first quarter of this year, accounting for more than 8 percent of the 124,053 purchases seen across the state from January to March.
Due largely to a sharp increase in sales since 2021, California has passed its target of putting 1.5 million zero-emission vehicles on Golden State roads a couple of years ahead of schedule., 1.52 million electric vehicles, or EVs, have been purchased through the first quarter of this year. Under the state’s definition, EVs are comprised of battery-electric, plug-in hybrids and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
. “Now this goal has been surpassed nearly two years early, which is an important milestone on the journey to finally bringing clean electric transportation mainstream.”Zero-emission sales in California had been flat between 2018 and 2020 but have soared in the past two years. Nearly half of the 1.5 million target can be attributed to purchases made in 2021, 2022 and the first quarter of this year.
Those conditions, Boone said, include automakers offering 115 different makes and models of electric vehicles, government incentive programs and building out more charging stations. Sales of EVs grew in the first three months of this year to account for 21 percent of all of California’s new car and truck market — compared to 5.6 percent for the total U.S. market.
