5 States with the Most Electric Vehicles

In this piece, we will take a look at the 5 states with the most electric vehicles. For more states, head on over to the 20 states with the most electric vehicles.

5. Arizona

Total EV registrations in 2022: 65,780

EV registration per 1,000 people: 8.9

Arizona is continuing to see demand for EVs increase and according to a senior policy analyst at Consumer Reports, sales have actually increased by over 50% year-on-year.

4. Florida

Total EV registrations in 2022: 167,990

EV registration per 1,000 people: 7.6

Florida has the second-highest number of electric vehicles, but the per capita statistics are comparatively disappointing, which can be ascribed to its lack of robust incentive programs to encourage EV adoption.

3. New Jersey

Total EV registrations in 2022: 87,030

EV registration per 1,000 people: 9.4

Residents in New Jersey who have either purchased or leased a new electric vehicle can receive up to $5,000 back based on the Charge Up New Jersey program, which is one of the reasons why it is among the states with the most electric vehicles.

2. Washington

Total EV registrations in 2022: 104,050

EV registration per 1,000 people: 13.4

Washington is one of just five states in the country to have more than 100,000 EV vehicles, and the state is continuing its aim to improve adoption by creating an electric highway system along the west coast.

1. California

Total EV registrations in 2022: 903,620

EV registration per 1,000 people: 23.2

California easily tops the list of the 20 states with the most electric vehicles, not just in terms of total EVs but also in terms of EV per capita. This should come as no surprise considering the fact that California has implemented several financial and non-financial incentives to improve EV adoption in the state.
