The EPA prohibits “systems”, equipment charged in the field, to be installed one year after the manufacture deadline. The EPA allows "products", equipment charged in the factory, to be sold up to 3 years after manufacture deadline. The EPA is considering clarification on the difference between products and systems and may provide additional guidance by the end of 2024.
