How Tustin does EVs

• Tesla country, like the rest of the county. Tesla accounts for about two-thirds of Tustin's electric cars, about the same as across Orange County, and Nissan EVs are about half again as common in Tustin as across Orange County.
• The 2023 wave. About a third of Tustin'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 Tustin over the past three years, but Nissan gained about half again as much ground in the city as it did countywide.

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.
