Florida has become the second state in the country for electric vehicle (EV) sales, following California. Although California has about five times as many EV registrations as Florida, Texas is closely behind Florida in third place. The top three states for EV registrations are also the most populated states in the country. The data used for the comparison is cumulative registrations through the end of 2023, making it a bit outdated but still relevant for analysis.
Despite the outdated data, EV sales in Florida have remained strong. In Central Florida alone, the number of electric vehicle registrations increased by more than 15% from November 2023 to November 2024. Over 17,000 EVs were newly registered in nine counties during that period, indicating a significant rise in EV adoption. Nationally, EV sales growth was 9.4% in 2024, while Central Florida experienced a higher growth rate of 15.2%, showcasing the region’s increasing interest in electric vehicles.
While there is a lack of state-specific data on EVs and EV sales, efforts are being made to gather more comprehensive and up-to-date information to analyze trends in various regions. Readers are encouraged to share any relevant resources in the comments to improve the understanding of the EV market in different states. The growth of EV sales in Central Florida points towards a positive trend in electric vehicle adoption, potentially influencing other regions to follow suit in transitioning towards cleaner transportation options.
