This dashboard visualizes Washington State electric vehicle adoption, showing average electric range trends over time for battery and plug-in hybrid vehicles, and vehicle distribution by county. It uses D3.js v5 to render SVG charts from CSV data, employing `d3.csv` for parsing and `d3.scaleLinear` for axes. A multi-series line chart and a combined bar and line chart include interactive tooltips and custom color schemes, with data grouped and averaged per year and county.

Data Source

The dashboard reads from Assignment6.csv containing Washington State electric vehicle registration data with:

  • County: Washington State county name
  • Model Year: Vehicle model year (2012-2025)
  • Electric Vehicle Type: BEV or PHEV classification
  • Electric Range: Range in miles
  • Additional fields: Make, Model, City, State, etc.

Data Processing

Line Chart Data:

  • Groups vehicles by Model Year and EV Type
  • Calculates average electric range for each year and type
  • Shows temporal trends in vehicle technology

Combined Chart Data:

  • Groups vehicles by County
  • Counts total vehicles per county
  • Calculates average electric range per county
  • Sorts by vehicle count for easier comparison

Key Insights

  • BEV vehicles show increasing electric range over time (84-322 miles)
  • PHEV vehicles have shorter electric-only ranges (13-97 miles)
  • King County has the highest EV adoption in Washington State
  • Technology Trend: Newer vehicle models (2018+) have significantly higher average ranges
