Around Washington

Washington ranks No. 2 in EV households, and a $5 million rebate is planned for January

If you've wondered how many neighbors drive electric, new Census data says 8.9% of Washington households owned or leased at least one EV in 2025. That's second behind California's 13.8% and well above the national 5.5%. It's the first time the American Community Survey counted EVs by household, and plug-in hybrids are included.

On KIRO Newsradio, host Gee Scott pointed to cost: sticker price and tabs. The state is preparing a new $5 million EV instant rebate program, expected to start in January 2027, according to the Department of Commerce.

  • Homeowners: about 11% had an EV; renters, just under 5%
  • Federal EV tax credits: ended in September 2025
  • State EV rebate program: ended in 2024

King County's EV rate topped Multnomah County's, 13.4% to 9.7%
