Also, as far as I can remember, these were also only applied locally, in some cases just the state, or even just individual cities.
Some reading material:
Charged EVs | MAGAZINE
Bollinger article
CHARGED Electric Vehicles Magazine - Issue 37 MAY/JUN 2018 by CHARGED Electric Vehilces Magazine - Issuu
Edit: have to say that if the Bollinger is only being engineered to conform with US prime mover/truck requirements - so that they don't have to comply with crash laws in the US, like having ABS and airbags - then I don't like its chances of conforming to ADRs. Unless there's an equivalent loophole here.
January 2019 Australian sales figures of Ev's makes interesting reading.
