About
This dataset presents a snapshot of the electric vehicle population in Washington State for 2024. It details Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) officially registered with the Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL). Electric vehicles are defined as vehicles using one or more electric motors for propulsion, drawing power from external sources or autonomously from batteries. This dataset offers valuable insight into the adoption and distribution of these vehicles, which are key components of the future mobility vision known as Connected, Autonomous, Shared, and Electric (CASE) Mobility.
Columns
- VIN (1-10): The Vehicle Identification Number for each vehicle.
- County: The county where the vehicle data was collected.
- City: The city where the vehicle data was collected.
- State: The state where the vehicle data was collected, primarily 'WA'.
- Postal Code: The postal code corresponding to the vehicle's location.
- Model Year: The manufacturing year of the vehicle model.
- Make: The manufacturer of the vehicle, e.g., TESLA, NISSAN.
- Model: The specific model name of the vehicle, e.g., MODEL Y, MODEL 3.
- Electric Vehicle Type: Categorisation of the vehicle as either a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) or a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV).
- Clean Alternative Fuel Vehicle (CAFV) Eligibility: Details regarding the vehicle's eligibility status for clean alternative fuel programmes.

Distribution
The dataset is provided as a CSV file, named "Electric_Vehicle_Population_Data.csv", with a file size of 44.1 MB. It contains 17 columns and approximately 181,000 records. Updates to this dataset are expected quarterly.
Usage
This dataset is ideal for:
- Analysing the growth and distribution of electric vehicles across Washington State.
- Informing urban and regional planning efforts related to EV infrastructure.
- Supporting policy development for clean energy and transportation initiatives.
- Market research for automotive manufacturers and energy providers.
- Academic research into sustainable transportation and consumer adoption patterns.
- Geographic Information System (GIS) applications for mapping EV presence and related services.
Coverage
The dataset focuses exclusively on electric vehicles registered within Washington State. It includes data points for various counties and cities within the state. The time range of the data represents the EV population in 2024, with vehicle model years spanning from 1997 to 2024. The dataset covers both Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs). Certain columns, such as County, City, Postal Code, Legislative District, Vehicle Location, Electric Utility, and 2020 Census Tract, may contain a small number of missing values.
