US average growth rate for PEVs per capita from 2016 to 2017 was 30.2%
27 December 2018
The US average growth rate for plug-in vehicle (PEV) per capita from 2016 to 2017 was 30.2%.
When looking at the rate of change from 2016 to 2017 for PEV registrations per capita, Vermont had a growth rate of 56.4%. Maryland, Massachusetts, and Alaska also had growth rates of 50% or higher.

With the exception of a few States, this is a surprising/excellent PEV growth rate (30.2%) for USA from 2016 to 2017.
Not surprised to see Vermont leading with 56.4%
Will 2017 to 2018 do as well or better?
In Canada, Quebec with almost 50% of total is still leading but a lot more could be done to promote the use of PEVs with abondant/surplus clean very low cost Hydro/Wind electricity. The accumulated Green Fund has not been used to its full potential or as been badly used. The new provincial government will try to correct the situation and use the Green Fund to further promote ground transportation electrification.
