SB 20-167 Electric Motor Vehicle Manufacturer And Dealer
This legislation increases consumer access to electric motor vehicles by allowing manufacturers to sell their own electric vehicles directly to consumers.
Summary
Preexisting law prohibits (with certain exceptions) a motor vehicle manufacturer from owning, operating, or controlling any motor vehicle dealer or used motor vehicle dealer in Colorado. This act creates a new exception that allows a manufacturer to own, operate, or control a motor vehicle dealer if the manufacturer makes only electric motor vehicles and has no franchised dealers of the same line-make.
