Used Electric Cars for Sale in Mission Viejo, CA

Mission Viejo drives electric at more than four times the national rate

About 9% of the cars registered in Mission Viejo are fully electric, against about 2% nationwide. Here's the climb since 2020, with Mission Viejo now at more than four times the national rate.

How Mission Viejo does EVs

• One of the most varied EV fleets in Orange County. Tesla is a slimmer majority of Mission Viejo's electric cars than it is across the county, and Ford, Chevrolet, Nissan, Volkswagen and Kia EVs are each about twice as common in Mission Viejo as across Orange County.
• The 2023 wave. About a third of Mission Viejo's 2023-model-year cars are electric, the highest share of any full model year, and 2023s are also the most common used EVs on nearby lots.
• Biggest movers since 2023. Tesla still added the most electric cars in Mission Viejo over the past three years, but Nissan and Ford gained about three times as much ground in the city as they did countywide, with Volkswagen, Audi and Kia at about twice.

About this data: These figures come from Bestest's analysis of California DMV vehicle registrations (January 1, 2026, the most recent available; brand growth compares the January 2023 and January 2026 files) and the US Department of Energy's national count of registered vehicles (year-end 2025). Fuel type and model year are reported for every registered vehicle. The DMV leaves the make blank for some vehicles; Tesla is named for nearly all of its cars, so Tesla's share is a conservative figure and other brands' counts are minimums.
