are selling the cars in three states beyond the ZEV-compliance states. Hyundai also sold 10,000 EVs in Korea during 2018. Auto analysts still consider the cars compliance cars because of the low production and limited distribution, not something a manufacturer would choose to do if they believed they could profitably sell their compliant EVs in volume at the prices they are offering them. Description and limitations Many compliance cars are limited in their quantities, options, and availability to purchase. Both Nissan and Tesla introduced cars before 2014 that were designed to be electric from the ground up, and have no limitations on either production or ownership, and make their electric vehicles available in all 50 US states. Their EVs thus avoided the term compliance car, despite easily meeting all requirements of the CARB regulations. References Car classifications Green vehicles
