Plug-in electric vehicles accounted for 7.1% of California car sales in the first three quarters of the year — fully electric car sales accounted for 4.1% and plug-in hybrids 3%. That’s a pretty big story, as the market share is well above the US average and also higher than the EV market share in almost every country on the planet.

However, the bigger story is that one brand now carries the bulk of those sales on its shoulders. That brand, of course, is Tesla.

The downside of the presentation, Zach notes, is that he was horribly sick for a week or two leading into this.
