I found out from a reliable source that the Spark EV will only be sold in California and Oregon, starting June 2013 with ONLY 5,000 units made. So if you live outside of those states, chances are you will have to wait a while to get a Spark EV of your own.

How do you guys feel about this? Is Chevy doing the right thing here?

I get California getting the EV first but why Oregon? Sorry my US population and geography isn't quite up there, but isn't Oregon a relatively small and remote area.

Oregon isn't remote.
