The market research and consulting firm anticipates that Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, D.C., and Delaware will all be among the top states for PEV penetration, where as highest sales are expected most populous states like California, New York and Florida.

Senior analyst Dave Hurst said: “PEV penetration will be influenced by several factors. Demographics, consumer attitudes, and available infrastructure will all help determine the uptake of PEVs in different areas.”

In addition, because of manufacturers’ rollout schedules, the availability of PEVs will vary widely by state and by region.

New York and California today account for more than half of the available PEVs in the US, while Southern states like Mississippi, Arkansas, and Alabama, as well as largely rural states such as Wyoming and Alaska, have very few plug-in electric vehicles available, said Pike Research.
