Ohio auto dealers have struck an agreement that will allow Tesla Motors to sell its electric cars in the state.
The agreement with the Ohio Automobile Dealers Association was negotiated on Tuesday and approved by a Senate panel.
The bill allows Tesla to keep its existing stores in the Columbus and Cincinnati areas, and allows a third to open in Cleveland. It prohibits the company from opening any other stores.
The bill allows no other automaker to operate manufacturer-owned stores in the state.
