    Amount of Electric Vehicle Owners by State

    Electric vehicles were the hottest topic for the auto industry in 2023. Surprisingly enough, electric vehicles have been around since 1890, but owning an EV only really started to gain traction in 1997, when the Toyota Prius was introduced. Though it was a hot-selling car for awhile, it was mostly stereotyped as a car for Californians and taxi-drivers.

    The Nissan Leaf was then introduced in 2010, along with Tesla right after, slowly building a market until the boom of 2023. According to KellyBlueBook, a record-breaking 1.2 million electric vehicles were sold last year with the Tesla Model Y being at the forefront, selling a whopping 385,900 in just U.S. sales and for that model alone in 2023.
