SACRAMENTO — Today, the California Energy Commission (CEC) announced that California surpassed 2.5 million cumulative new zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales in 2025. Since the end of 2019, cumulative new ZEV sales in California alone have grown over 300%, driven by effective clean transportation policy and various ZEV incentives. This remarkable growth has also driven the state’s commitment to building a robust ZEV infrastructure network.
“No state in the union can match California’s five-year growth in ZEV sales,” said California Energy Commissioner Nancy Skinner. “This serves as a reminder of how far we’ve come thanks to historic levels of state investment and Californians’ strong demand for clean cars. Each quarter, even in the face of increasing federal headwinds, tens of thousands of consumers are purchasing a ZEV in the Golden State, enjoying a great driving experience, and knowing they never have to go to a gas station again.” (....)
