California did pass those laws thirty years ago. Then Bush Jr rode up on his horse and got CA to neuter their law. That's why GM made the ev1 then murdered it.

Were they sold in the US? I've never heard of those!

California. Electric Rav4, sold to fleets mostly, 1997-2003. Both Mercedes and Toyota were partnered with Tesla, but they bailed as soon as Musk showed up. Ford also had a Ranger EV.
