4 RAV4 EVs in New York (5 if you include Jimbo69ny)

I've always wondered exactly how many Rav4EVs are outside of CA.

I found this article online...
Data Shows Tesla Dominates New York EV Market
http://dccargeek.com/data-shows-tesla-dominates-new-york-ev-market/
It states that Tesla vehicles make up 51% of all electric passenger vehicles registered in the State of New York.

The article pointed to a database that has all the registration data for New York (Cars, Boats, Snowmobiles, etc).
There are 11,132,551 total records. I found 86 Toyotas. I think all but 4 are Plug in Prius'. There were 4 Rav4EVs listed. Jimbos is not here (probably registered before this database was exported. Here is the information below (this is publicly available data).

Type Vin Registration City State Zip County Model year Make Body Type Fuel Type Weight Reg valid Reg expires Color

So 2 of the 5 owners are active on myrav4ev. I wonder if similar percentages hold for other states.

Only 535 Nissan LEAFs registered in New York? I wonder if some are hiding under different registration names or something which caused the author of that blog to miss them. Either that or the type of people that would buy a LEAF in New York take public transit instead and have no need for a personal car.

I looked and get even fewer if I sort by vins that look like leafs. I would not be surprised if they are really low. I have only seen 3 in the wild here. I see a lot more volts and teslas.

In New York city people may not need cars as much and when they do it's for longer trips out of town. I'm on the other side of the state and things are spread out here. The Rav4 gives me the range to do 99% of my normal driving. I think the leaf would be more like 90%.
