"While California continues to lead in car shoppers' adoption of hybrid and electric cars, overall demand for these green cars has led car companies to make hybrids in all shapes and sizes, capable of accommodating the needs of just about any type of driver," said Joe Wiesenfelder, executive editor of Cars.com. "Inventory of hybrid and electric cars on Cars.com is already up 22 percent this year, further demonstrating that automakers are catching up to car shopper demand."
