The fleet of plug-in electric vehicles in the United States is the largest in the world, with over 373,000 highway legal plug-in electric cars sold in the country since 2008 through September 2015, and representing about 36% of the global stock.〔〔 California is the largest plug-in car regional market in the country, with almost 174,000 units sold between December 2010 and September 2015, representing 47.2% of all plug-in cars sold in the U.S. since 2010.〔〔〔 The U.S. market share of plug-in electric passenger cars increased from 0.14% in 2011 through 0.37% in 2012 to 0.62% in 2013.〔〔 The segment reached a market share of 0.72% in 2014 and fell to 0.62% of new car sales during the first nine months of 2015.〔〔 , there are 27 highway legal plug-in cars available in the American market from 13 car manufacturers,〔 plus several models of electric motorcycles, utility vans and neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs). , cumulative sales are led by the Nissan Leaf all-electric car with 85,952 units, followed by the Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid with 82,261 units.〔〔 Ranking next is the all-electric Tesla Model S with about 55,520 units,〔〔〔 and the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid with 42,136 units.〔〔〔〔 The Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008 granted tax credits for new qualified plug-in electric vehicles. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) also authorized federal tax credits for converted plug-ins.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Consumer Energy Tax Incentives: Plug-In Hybrid Conversion Kits )〕 The federal tax credit for new plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) is worth between and depending on battery capacity.〔 , a total of 37 states and Washington, D.C. have established incentives and tax or fee exemptions for BEVs and PHEVs, or utility-rate breaks, and other non-monetary incentives such as free parking and high-occupancy vehicle lane access.〔 The U.S. government also has pledged in federal grants to support the development of next-generation electric cars and batteries, and million for the installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure in 16 different metropolitan areas around the country. , the United States had 5,678 charging stations across the country, led by California with 1,207 stations (21.3%).〔 In terms of public charging points, there were 19,472 public outlets available across the country by the end of December 2013, again led by California with 5,176 (26.6%) public charging points.〔 In his 2011 State of the Union address, President Barack Obama set the goal for the U.S. to become the first country to have 1 million electric vehicles on the road by 2015. Considering the actual slow rate of PEV sales, since mid-2012 several industry observers have concluded that this goal is unattainable. The Governor of California, Jerry Brown, issued an executive order in March 2012 that established the goal of getting 1.5 million zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) on California roads by 2015.〔〔 In September 2014, the Charge Ahead California Initiative set the additional goal to have at least 1 million zero-emission vehicles and near-zero-emission vehicles in California by January 1, 2023.〔 ==Government support== In his 2011 State of the Union address, President Barack Obama set the goal for the U.S. to become the first country to have 1 million electric vehicles on the road by 2015.〔 This goal was established based on forecasts made by the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE), using production capacity of PEV models announced to enter the U.S. market through 2015. The DoE estimated a cumulative production of 1,222,200 PEVS by 2015, and was based on manufacturer announcements and media reports accounting production goals for the Fisker Karma, Fisker Nina, Ford Transit Connect, Ford Focus Electric, Chevrolet Volt, Nissan Leaf, Smith Newton, Tesla Roadster, Tesla Model S and Th!nk City. Considering that actual PEV sales have been lower than initially expected, as of early 2013, several industry observers have concluded that this goal is unattainable.〔〔〔 According to a July 2012 study by Pike Research, cumulative sales will reach the 1 million goal set by the Obama Administration only in 2018.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plug-in electric vehicles in the United States」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
