From 2014 through 2017, more than half of all EVs sold in the US were purchased in California, but that fraction has now fallen to one third. More EV models are now available, from small cars to pickup trucks, meaning more buyers have an electric option that meets their needs. More widespread adoption of EVs across the US is also a factor.
