EV States Getting Hybrids Sooner?

Good highlight. He's talking about region versus region scheduling. And how they may focus on allocations in certain regions over others. And EV regions may get a Hybrid focus and end up with a different Hybrid/EB scheduling ratio than overall nationally.

Another interesting dynamic in the Ford allocation special sauce.

California and some other states have zero-emission requirements that manufacturer's must have for sale a certain percentage of vehicle sales as zero-emission vehicles (EV, plug-in hybrid, fuel cell, etc). So manufacturers tend to prioritize deliveries to those states to ensure that they meet those minimums. Outside of those states it can be hard or nearly impossible to purchase those vehicles new. Rav4/Prius Prime, Kia Soul EV, etc. It's also why you see some EVs that have otherwise unimpressive range numbers/pricing that exist solely to be compliance cars. For instance the Mazda MX-30 which is only sold in California and whose production run of 560 units very exactly lines up with the minimum number of EVs they need to sell.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm in Mass which has some plan to go EV by 2030. But AFAIK, there are no rebates for non plug hybrids, only EV and PHEVs. So Maverick sales don't check any boxes here.
