See how many electric vehicles are registered in Tennessee

Few announcements have rocked the automotive industry as hard as the one-two punch of General Motors’ notice of intent to exclusively produce electric-powered vehicles by 2035 and the Ford Motor Company’s $30 billion investment in electric vehicle development. The latter has thus far resulted in the release of an all-electric F-150 and Mustang, the automaker’s two top-selling models. Of course, other automakers have taken a dip into the EV pool, among them Chevrolet, Volvo, Porsche, Mazda, and Mercedes Benz, and it would seem that Tesla set a gold standard for the development and marketing of the electric vehicle. 

CoPilot ranked each state (and Washington D.C.) by the number of registered EVs as a percentage of total registered private and commercial vehicles to offer a quick look at where the nation stands on electric vehicle adoption, using data from the Department of Energy and Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Ties were broken at the thousandths of a percent level which, for brevity, are not shown. Charging station and charging port data came from an Alternative Fuel Stations report issued by the BTS.

  1. California with the most registered electric vehicles at 1.43%? That kind of number doesn't say to me that by 2035 everybody is going to want electric only....

    Oh, and D.C., full of leftist true believers is sadly in the bottom three. Kinda proves that things like that are really just 'for thee, not for me'.

    1. My bad. D.C. is not in the bottom three. It's in the top three. I saw the 0.74% registration rate and assumed that a number that low had to be the bottom. Oops.

  3. Things are changing. We don't have to like it, or accept it or join in. Keep up or be left behind. 15 years from now I'll probably be decomposing anyway.

  4. And how many open pit 10,000 acre mines run by fossil fueled equipment is it gonna take to supply all these lectric cars with batteries that are NOT RECYCLEABLE. Last I read, the city of Paris France had a few hundred acres of lectric cars sitting there cause they were past their life, batteries not recyclable and nothing to do with em but let em sit.

    1. Your comment is absolute proof that we need a Disinformation Governance Board.

    2. Sorry, Nina. I read an article just the other day that not only mentioned the cars and why they were there, but showed pictures of them.

  5. Just wait until they see a battery fire. It looks and sounds like a blow torch.

  6. Ford's electric car that they hung the Mustang name on looks nothing like any Mustang ever made.

    1. Mustangs haven't looked like Mustangs since 1968.

  7. And let's not forget the special landfills for those lithium batteries. You know someone will make big money on those landfills, people will try to avoid that cost, the batteries will be disposed of improperly, causing serious health and environmental issues. Any comments Nina?
