The surprising part to me is that there are now enough EVs to make a measurable difference, since I kept thinking they are still relatively rare. The linked study has this piece of data:
From 2019 to 2023, ZEVs increased from 2.0% (559943 of 28237734) to 5.1% (1460818 of 28498496).
So 1 out of 20 cars in California is an EV.
- justaboutanyone 9mo agoIt really feels like more than 1 in 20 driving around the 101/280
- omoikane 9mo agoProbably because Santa Clara County has more EV sales compared to its neighbors, according to this map: https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/zero-emission-vehicle-and-infrastructure-statistics-collection/new-zev https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/zero-e...
- ZeroGravitas 9mo agoAnd newer cars get driven more than old cars on average so 1/20 cars being EVs will do more than 1/20th of the miles.

- ccozan 9mo agoGermany maybe 1 in 5 to 1 in 7 ( at least in the south ). I drive mostly the commuter schedule and I am amazed how many are driving the EVs. Truth is: for commuting up to 100kms, the EVs are wastly cheaper long run ( you have to factor everything ! )
