Nearly 20% of new vehicle registrations in Washington in July were either electric or hybrid, according to data from the state’s department of licensing. In total, 104,000 electric vehicles – either fully battery electric or a plug-in hybrid electric – are registered in the state, about 2.5 times the total from two years ago.

Massachusetts has also said it will follow California’s lead and more states are likely to. New York and Pennsylvania are among 17 states that have adopted some or all of California’s tailpipe emission standards, which are stricter than federal rules.
