Surprisingly, in general, the northeast is very, very low. A lot lower than I would expect. Even if you remove the outlier of California, the northeast and Florida don’t compare to other states west of the Mississippi.
I suspect a lot of the western states are high because Californians tend to relocate there
I didn’t bother with doing the national averages. California likely skews it. Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, NJ, DC, Maryland are all above florida. Florida is the leader in the south
Interestingly, Atlanta's substantially ahead of Miami. Georgia has also recently attracted two huge EV assembly plants (Rivian & Hyundai), and multiple large battery plants.

Georgia as a state is one of the lowest on the east coast. Atlanta being high in EV usage is not surprising though, given how car centric Atlanta is compared to most major US cities.
Atlanta must be very high then because Georgia as a state is one of the lowest on the east coast. Atlanta being high in EV usage is not surprising though, given how car centric Atlanta is compared to most major US cities.
Interesting observations. It would appear all the news regarding the new wealth in Miami is overstated.

Huh? What does that have to do with the topic of the thread?
See my edit above requesting the numbers between Miami and Atlanta, per capita (although, not sure how this turned into an Atlanta vs Miami discussion - lol).
Eh, not really. New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire are all lower than the national average. Even Florida is higher than most of the northeast.
New York has the lowest % of car ownership in the country because of NYC. People do not care about EVs, gas cars, or any cars. The city skews the numbers.

They're the leading Metro areas of adjacent States, it's an interesting comparison of two areas that are quite car centric.

All good points. I’d be curious to see the per capita numbers eliminating the population of NYC.
These stats are old and since then California has gone into overdrive. The NYC metropolitan area is massive and there are a lot of people within that area that have pathways to charging at home. Also, charging stations can be placed within parking like parking garages and basement levels so they don't really take up much additional room within the city itself.
The issue is that parking garages with Tesla chargers charge fees.
If anyone is driving a Tesla into the city, my advise would be to charge outside of NYC, unless you have a home charger at your destination.
