There's compliance and then there's compliance. There are, I believe, 7 states other than California that have ZEV mandates as well. I was able to get a Smart ED because I live in one of them. But I can't get a Honda FIT or Spark EV or Fiat 500e because those are California only. I presume Honda, Chevy and Fiat are buying ZEV credits to avoid having to make cars for us smaller states.
