Quebec becomes the first Canadian province and 11th North American market,
after 10 US states, to adopt a ZEV mandate.The law is modelled after the one in
California, where the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate originated and where
it has been the most efficient in accelerating the growth of electric
vehicles......
Quebec’s ZEV mandate works the same way. It forces automakers to sell electric
vehicles for credits in order to compensate for their gas-powered vehicle sales
or to buy the credits from other automakers who have a surplus, like Tesla
since it only sells EVs.

I disagree. I think that 'compliance' is a well-defined and unambiguous term
that refers specifically to *complying* with a ZEV mandate such as CARB's to
the minimum extent possible.
A compliance car would therefore only be offered where required to *comply*
with such a mandate, and even in these areas might or might not be available
for purchase.
Any vehicle offered for sale where not *required* to satisfy some regulation or
mandate *cannot* be considered to be a compliance car, regardless of how
competitive or desirable any individual might consider it relative to other
available vehicles.
I think attempts to redefine or broaden the definition of the term to include
vehicles that are offered for sale even where not required to comply with such
mandates simply because an individual disagrees with the manufacturer's design
choices or such is simply a case of those people who insist upon seeing the
glass as half empty rather than half full and need to find something to
complain about even as OEM EVs [slowly] become more readily available.
Cheers,
Roger.
