Thanks to Talking Points Memo’s IdeaLab for pointing us to NPR.org, which has done a cool map tracking how various parts of the country rate in terms of buying hybrid and electric vehicles http://idealab.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/11/where-do-hybrid-electric-cars-sell-best.php.
The San Francisco area (wow, who would have imagined?) that beats out all others in this category: 8.4 percent of all cars sold are green vehicles, and the top 10 markets in the country are on the West Coast, too.
