Electric Motor Vehicle Manufacturer And Dealer

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. The 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. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
