Electric cars and California: the State of California accounts for a third of all electric vehicle sales in the United States. Roughly one in every five cars sold in California are battery-powered as of 2024.[1]
But the news has not been good for Tesla in 2024:
| “ | Tesla’s new-car registrations fell 24% in California in the second quarter, the third time in a row the carmaker’s sales have fallen in the Golden State ....
While the Model Y remains the state’s top-selling car, the Elon Musk-led company has seen its market share falter throughout the year. Tesla accounted for 53.4% of California’s battery-electric car market in the first half, down from 64.6% a year ago, the CNCDA report said. Overall Tesla sales in California are down 17% so far this year.[1] |
