In a follow up to a previous story on hybrid registration in 2005, R.L. Polk & Co. also put together a list of the top 10 hybrid states. These are the states that registered the most hybrids in 2005.
California and Virginia both give some extra benefits to those who buy hybrids, so its not surprising to see them in the list of top 10 states that own hybrids. Also, you should factor in state populations (obviously, California has more people, so you are more likely to see people buying hybrids there).
