California Surpasses 1.5 Million EV Sales Goal Ahead of Schedule.

California has achieved its goal of having over 1.5 million clean vehicles on the road two years ahead of schedule, with 21.1% of all new light-duty vehicles bought in the state being zero-emissions vehicles in Q1 2023. Battery EVs made up the majority of sales, with Tesla's Model Y accounting for the most units sold. California's Zero-Emission Vehicle program has been successful in driving down climate emissions, with other states adopting the program. The state's ambitious goals for clean energy and air quality have been achieved despite political interference from the previous administration.
