That proportion bumped up to 53% in April.The amount of EVs on the road varies depending the location around the Bay, and greater numbers can be seen in wealthier areas.
In cities such as Los Altos and Piedmont, 50% or more of newly registered cars are electrified, according to S&P Global. However, in some areas of San Ramon and Belmont, EVs made up less than 40% of new vehicle registrations.
