Considering I live in the LA basin and am constantly amazed at how FEW EVs I see during my 70mile round trip drive on the freeways every day, I would have guessed that there can't be more than several hundred in LA and Orange Counties put together. It's kind of comforting to know that over 1E6 have been built, even though there aren't that many here. Means parts will at least continue to be available, though they might take a while to get.
