You might be surprised to find out that gas guzzling pickups are not just popular in Texas. Even here in Washington state they are 17.1% of registered vehicles, and Texas is actually only ranked 20th in truck ownership by state. At 10.3%, California pickup truck owners are just below their EV owners, at 12.5%. https://www.cbs42.com/news/national/...pickup-trucks/

This should shock you as trucks have been around much longer. Tesla is the #1 selling vehicle in California. I think the F150 is the #1 selling car across the US>

Couple of other things to note. Outside of Seattle, Washington is fairly agrarian and conservative.
And this is per capita. So for example, Austin being behind Dallas and Houston is not surprising
Surprised NYC is that high as most homes don't have garages and one would think it would be hard to build charging stations in such a crowded area.
Also surprised Phoenix is that high
NYC Metro also has lots of people, though - even if you subtract the entire NYC from the metro area you're still talking about 11M people - larger than all metro area sans LA. That will push numbers up regardless on how many people actually use transit.
For Phoenix - maybe it's all those California migrants .

These stats are old and since then California has gone into overdrive. The NYC metropolitan area is massive and there are a lot of people within that area that have pathways to charging at home. Also, charging stations can be placed within parking like parking garages and basement levels so they don't really take up much additional room within the city itself.
