Sales of hybrids were up 38% last year. Now the US has more than 350,000 hybrids on the road. That sounds like a lot, but hybrids only made up 2.2% of all the cars sold last year. That means that 15.5 million cars sold last year were the normal gas-guzzling, earth-polluting kind. The most popular hybrid vehicle, the one that makes up 51% of the entire hybrid market is still the Toyota Prius. Most of those were sold in California, which is responsible for 26% of all hybrid registrations in the U.S. Florida, New York, Texas & Washington are the other top states where people bought the most hybrid vehicles.
