The adoption of plug-in electric vehicles in the United States is actively supported by the American federal government, and several state and local governments. As of September 2018, cumulative sales in the U.S. totaled one million highway legal plug-in electric vehicles since the market launch of the Tesla Roadster in 2008. As of December 2017, the American stock represented about 25% of the global plug-in car stock, and the U.S. had the world's third largest stock of plug-in passenger cars after China and Europe.The U.S. market share of plug-in electric passenger cars increased from 0.14% in 2011 to 0.62% in 2013. The plug-in segment reached a market share of 0.75% in 2014 and fell to 0.66% in 2015. Then climbed to 0.90% in 2016, and achieved a record market share of 1.13% in 2017. California is the largest plug-in car regional market in the country, with 427,952 plug-in electric vehicles registered through June 2018, and accounted for approximately 48% of cumulative plug-in sales in the American market from 2011 to June 2016. The other nine states that follow California's Zero Emission Vehicle regulations accounted for another 10% of cumulative plug-in car sales in the U.S. during the same period.As of December 2017, there were 41 highway legal plug-in cars available in the American market from over a dozen car manufacturers, plus several models of electric motorcycles, utility vans and neighborhood electric vehicles . As of December 2017, the Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid is the all-time best selling plug-in electric car with 133,838 units , followed by the Tesla Model S all-electric car with 118,817, and the Nissan Leaf with 114,827. The Model S has been the best selling plug-in car in the U.S. for three consecutive years, from 2015 to 2017. As of 31 January 2016, the United States had 12,203 charging stations across the country, led by California with 2,976 stations . In terms of public charging points, there were 30,669 public outlets available across the country by the end of January 2016, again led by California with 9,086 charging points .The Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008 granted tax credits for new qualified plug-in electric vehicles. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 also authorized federal tax credits for converted plug-ins. The federal tax credit for new plug-in electric vehicles is worth between US$2,500 and US$7,500 depending on battery capacity. As of November 2014, a total of 37 states and Washington, D.C. have established incentives and tax or fee exemptions for BEVs and PHEVs, or utility-rate breaks, and other non-monetary incentives such as free parking and high-occupancy vehicle lane access. The U.S. government also has pledged US$2.4 billion in federal grants to support the development of next-generation electric cars and batteries, and US$115 million for the installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure in 16 different metropolitan areas around the country. In his 2011 State of the Union address, President Barack Obama set the goal for the U.S. to become the first country to have one million electric vehicles on the road by 2015. Due to a initial slow rate of plug-in car sales, the goal was achieved only in September 2018. The Governor of California, Jerry Brown, issued an executive order in March 2012 that established the goal of getting 1.5 million zero-emission vehicles on California roads by 2025. In September 2014, the Charge Ahead California Initiative set the additional goal to have at least one million zero-emission vehicles and near-zero-emission vehicles in California by January 1, 2023.
