The EV adoption map across America is shockingly uneven. California's dominating with 903K registered EVs (2.5% of all vehicles), while North Dakota has just 640 (0.08%).
West Coast + Northeast leading hard: - Washington: 104K EVs (1.53%) - New Jersey: 87K EVs (1.22%) - Oregon: 47K EVs (1.24%)
The Midwest and South lagging way behind. Mississippi, Wyoming, and West Virginia stuck under 0.15% adoption. Texas has 149K EVs but that's only 0.59% of its massive vehicle fleet.
Bottom line: EV adoption still heavily concentrated in wealthy coastal states with strong environmental policies. Middle America's catching up slowly, but the gap is real.
