Data

We looked within California counties to determine any relevant factors that contribute most to EV purchases. The primary data point we used for our analysis was the total amount of incentives offered by county. As supplementary factors, we looked at demographic data to identify any correlation between household income, commuter miles driven, etc, and EV adoption.

All datasets are for the state of California , we focused our efforts on the years 2015 to the present.

• Found incentives data on driveclean.ca.gov

• The demographics dataset contains socioeconomic data of EV owners

• ZEV sales data contains number of EVs purchased

• Population estimates by county from 2010 to 2022 was found on dof.ca.gov
