Latest Orange County Study
Anaheim's cheap electricity linked to higher EV adoption. Here's the data.
Orange County is geographically small, but three different power companies serve it at three very different prices. That provides an uncommon opportunity to isolate what electricity rates do to EV adoption. I analyzed every vehicle registration in the county, controlling for nine non-price factors, from income and housing to politics and commutes. Where electricity is cheap, EVs run ahead of expectations. Where it’s expensive, they fall behind.
