As data from the Statista Consumer Insights survey shows, California is one state that is at the forefront of the electric car revolution, with 0ver 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.
