How Many Arizonans Are Using Alternative Fuel Vehicles?

This data measures the number of vehicles by fuel type registered in each state by the U.S. Department of Energy.

What is an Alternative Fuel Vehicle?
An alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) uses fuel other than traditional gasoline or diesel.

Why Would Improving Arizonans’ Usage of Alternative Fuel Vehicles Matter?
The growing use of alternative fuel vehicles is an opportunity to reduce fossil fuel usage and improve air quality. According to the Gallup Arizona Survey, Arizonans want to reduce carbon emissions. Tailpipe emissions from a gasoline-powered car contribute significantly more toxic pollutants and particulates than AFVs.

Alternative fuel data are updated annually and available for each state and the nation.
