Another lesson in “Green Math” versus arithmetic is being conducted in the rather small EV marketplace with large regional variations.
Our friends from Experian e-mail AutoInformed saying that as automakers and regulators continue to express differing views on EVs, Experian Automotive has EV market insights based on registration data through mid-2018 that can help inform the ongoing dialogue.

Six states, and Washington D.C., over-index for electric market share – that is having more than the 0.9% share (which is the total national EV market share of the passenger and light truck market) through the first half of the 2018 calendar year:

- Washington DC 1.48% – 163 index

Nota bene that the western half of US is hotbed for electric vehicles!
