Provides updated data characterizing EV adopters rebated for calendar-year 2022 purchases/leases.

In 2022, CVRP:

• Regressed away from resembling mainstream car markets in terms of higher home ownership (but still lower than pre-2021 levels).
• Progressed further toward the mainstream in terms of gender and educational attainment.
• Was mainstream in terms of age.
• Was beyond the mainstream in terms of income and some metrics of race/ethnicity, thereby also addressing decades-old structural inequities in new-car buying in these areas.

The portion of disparities between CVRP and the CA population statistics that can reasonably be attributed to new-car buying rather than being particular to EVs:

• 2/5ths of the differences in the home ownership metric
• 4/5ths of the differences in educational attainment
• All off the differences in income, age, and some metrics of race/ethnicity
