"They've given better incentives, so the rebate you get in California when you buy an electric vehicle is better," said Flynn.
Shaun Halladay received $10,000 in state and federal rebates for his all electric Nissan Leaf.
"Maybe if I was in a different state [and] that incentive wasn't there, I probably wouldn't be able to do it," he said.
Halladay says he loves not having to pay for gasoline, but he says there should be more charging stations.
"Even today, I'm having a hard time finding a charger. I must find one in order to get home," he said.
Halladay will have a good chance of finding one in California. Jordan Ramer of EV Connect says his company has installed and manages more than 1,000 charging stations in the United States.
"Half to two-thirds of what we've deployed are in the state of California, and probably a good portion of that is in Southern California. We see that a quarter to a third of EVs [electric vehicles] are here in the state of California," he said.
Tesla's Jeremy Snyder says its largest customer base is in California.
"The state attracts people who are dreamers and big thinkers and idealist, and people that don't want to go with the societal norms, but they really want to create the new societal norms," he said.
Ed Zaelke just placed an order for a Tesla Model S.
"I believe global warming is real, and I think that electric cars are one of the many things we have to do to look for solutions to that. And, I need to be a part of that solution," he said.
