Electric vehicles are poised to top 100,000 registrations in California this year as their share of the state’s light-vehicle market rose to 5.6 percent through June compared with 4.7 percent for all of 2018.
That’s counter to a downward trend in new-vehicle sales overall, with annual deliveries expected to fall 4.6 percent in 2019, according to a report from the California New Car Dealers Association.
Across California, new-vehicle sales fell 5.6 percent during the first half of the year, with light truck sales declining 1.1 percent and passenger car deliveries falling 11 percent.
