How Electric Vehicles are Going Mainstream (Again)

Electric vehicles are the future — but they’re not some far-off dream like flying cars. Rather, they represent the present as well as the possibilities to come. And they have a history that’s far deeper than you were likely aware.

In 2024, 10.5% of all new cars sold or leased in Delaware in 2024 were EVs, just above the national average.

By the end of the decade, we could have well over 100,000 cars on Delaware roads running mostly or solely on electricity.
