The story within California borders during the 2019 through 2020 period is the return of the sales for regular hybrids and a slight decline in sales share of PHEVs. The latter is due to GM discontinuing the popular Chevrolet Volt PHEV and the increase in BEV sales driven by the Tesla Model 3 and now Model Y. We expect regular hybrids to continue increasing for several more years as Toyota and Honda in particular launch hybrid versions of all of their top-selling vehicles.
In Q1 2023, California overall reached 21.1% ZEV sales share, while the average ZEV sales share by county was 15% and the median was 13.1%. The Golden State had four counties (those with at least 50 ZEV sales in the quarter) with a greater than 30% ZEV sales share.
The Rivian Adventure Network (DC fast charging) could end 2023 as the 7th largest DC fast charging network in the US and is on pace for the #5 slot in 2-3 years. Rivian’s typical DCFC site has 6 DC fast chargers.
The ratio of the number of new BEV units sold in the US to the number of newly-added DC fast charger ports increased to 110 to 1 in 2022, from 81 to 1 in 2021. The increase is due to new BEV sales outpacing the rate of newly added DC fast chargers in the US.
