That map is misleading, however. Of course states with large populations and large numbers of cars registered are going to have more EVs. The one on the right shows which states have the highest rate of EV adoption based on the <em>percentage<\/em> of the vehicles in the state that are EVs, a better indication of how EVs have caught on. While many similarities exist between the two maps, it becomes evident from the second chart that states like Hawaii, Vermont, and Nevada are actually among leaders in adopting EVs. Georgia, with its strong state incentive program, now leads the nation in current sales of EVs as a percent, although California still leads in overall percentage registered.<\/p>\n<p>Sources: <a href=\"https:\/\/energy.gov\/eere\/vehicles\/fact-876-june-8-2015-plug-electric-vehicle-penetration-state-2014\">Energy.gov<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cleantechnica.com\/2017\/01\/20\/december-2016-us-ev-sales-2011-2016-sales-figures-state-ev-volumes\/\">CleanTechnica.gov<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/todayinenergy\/detail.php?id=19131\">USEIA<\/a>.
