As data from the Statista Consumer Insights survey shows, California is one state that is at the forefront of the electric car revolution, with over 30 percent of respondents saying they consider the propulsion type ‘electric’ when buying a car.

New York, Maryland and New Hampshire also had over 30 percent keeping an EV in mind in 2022.

On the other end of the scale, states like North Dakota, Kentucky and Alaska showed relatively little interest in adopting electric cars as a viable transportation option.
