California’s plan to have all new cars be electric by 2035 is facing challenges. A new report shows sales of electric cars in California have dropped sharply, with zero-emission vehicles making up just under 14 percent of new car sales, a significant decrease from last year. Registrations are also down more than 40 percent, partly because a 75-hundred federal tax credit went away. Meanwhile, hybrid car sales are rising, now making up over 20 percent of the market. Experts say many buyers like the savings of electric cars but prefer the ease of transitioning into a hybrid.
