There are no PHEVs sold in the USA today that meet the 50 mile requirement. The RAV4 Prime falls short with only a 42 mile range.
The only 3 I can think of that did are the BMW i3 REX (72 miles), 2nd Gen Volt (53 miles), and the Polestar 1 (52 miles)

No.
1. This only applies to CARB states that have opted into ZEV
2. In 2026 only 35% of cars sold in those states need to be ZEV (BEV, FCEV, PHEV)
3. In 2022 19% of light duty vehicles sold in California were ZEV.
