It was only ever available in two states, so probably not.

Overall consumer culpability was a factor, the film argues, but I think that's where the film's imbalance hurts it. Even if the EV-1 were available in all 50 states, a good chunk of the population simply could not use one. Many people in urban areas don't have dedicated parking spaces, let alone garages or carports. One day you get a spot in front of your place, the next day you're down the block.
