California leads the country with over 3,000 EV registrations per 100,000 residents.
Washington, Hawaii, Oregon, and Colorado also show strong EV adoption per capita.
Southern and rural states lag significantly in electric vehicle registrations.

EV Adoption is Highly Regional

By the end of 2023, 36% of all U.S. electric vehicle registrations were in California alone—an outsized share given the state represents just 12% of the population.

To understand regional adoption patterns, USAFacts compiled state-level data from the U.S. Department of Energy showing electric vehicle registrations per 100,000 residents.

California tops the list with 3,026 electric vehicles per 100,000 residents. That’s more than twice the per capita registrations of Washington (1,805), the next highest state.

Hawaii (1,686), Oregon (1,422), and Colorado (1,405) also rank in the top five—each benefiting from supportive EV policies and infrastructure investments.

Where EVs Are Still Rare

Mississippi recorded just 110 EVs per 100,000 people in 2023—the lowest in the country. Other low-ranking states include North Dakota, West Virginia, and South Dakota, each with fewer than 200 per 100,000.

Many of these states face hurdles such as limited charging infrastructure, longer travel distances, and fewer incentives for EV ownership.
