While zero-emission car sales made up a quarter of all new vehicles sold in California last year, the transition to clean cars is rolling out unequally across the state. EVs are less common in rural, lower-income, and Black and Latino communities due to upfront costs, lack of access to chargers, and a young secondhand market.
Organizations and the state are targeting rural and marginalized communities to address clean car adoption disparities. Efforts include financial incentives, charging infrastructure funding, and community initiatives like Míocar, an electric car-sharing service for low-income areas with health and environmental challenges.
