That's what I was thinking too. But for what it's worth, California still has about 10% of America's population, but 39% of its EVs. So adoption rates do seem skewed in some states.
Maybe the real question is why? I'm surprised New York doesn't have anywhere near as many as California.
The most interesting stat is that EV registrations last month are 2.4 times what they were 14 months ago. Wonder how that will affect these numbers going forward and in the years to come.
