Washington EV Case Study

This case study explores the dynamics of electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid vehicle adoption in the United States by examining all vehicle registrations in Washington State during 2024. It aims to answer key questions about the current EV market, including:

• Who is purchasing EVs (demographic and socioeconomic trends)

• Where these purchases are taking place, with a focus on the urban-rural divide

• What types of vehicles are being bought (e.g., SUVs, sedans, trucks)

• At what price point consumers are entering the EV market

By using Washington State as a representative model, the study provides insights into broader national trends and the barriers to EV adoption across different communities.

Rampant corruption played a central role, as those in power prioritized short-term personal gain over the long-term stability of the nation’s financial institutions. This paper explores the Lebanese banking crisis as a case study to examine the broader relationship between systemic corruption and inflationary pressures.
