After learning more about ZEV & CARB, I don't think that would be the case. OEMs can sell EVs in CA only and that would count towards other states as well (but less number of credits). That is why compliance EVs are sold only in CA ...
LTLFTcomposite said:I wish someone would start a thread on all the ins and outs of CARB and CAFE compliance. Tony Williams has a lot of interesting input on the subject but it gets scattered through various threads.
Bicster said:I still want to know if I can buy (or at least get service) on one of these puppies in Texas. Oh, and what will it cost? I'm guessing it goes head to head with the i3 in terms of pricing.
Mercedes wants to be compliant, but there's more to the story since the car will be available everywhere in the U.S. as well as in several European countries.

It won't be available before late 2014 or early 2015, but the spokesperson I spoke with in Frankfurt quickly added that it will be available at the end of next Spring in America

Am I reading this right that it will be released in the US around the middle of 2014?
Bicster said:I think so, but keep in mind that delays are almost inevitable and the rollout will probably not be nationwide at first.
Now _that's_ the kind of cargo area I like to see. But still no QC although a 9.6kW charger, and a claimed 115 mile range on a city cycle which would be a bit more than a LEAF (if we accept the 100 mile LA4 claims).Bicster said:http://www.plugincars.com/built-americans-mercedes-b-class-electric-drive-128333.html
That's encouraging!
