I doubt CARB will allow a PHEV to start the trip in gas mode and still get the $5,000 ZEV credit. I suspect you will need to go at least 50 miles on the battery and then switch to hybrid mode.

There is a 3 mode button by where the 4wd and transmission shifter is on the regular Ram. Electric +, E-save, and Eco. I believe it will default to the electric + which starts on battery only, but the E-save is supposed to save the battery power until the end. The Jeep Wrangler 4XE has something similar so you can gas to the trail, then off road in silent EV mode. It qualifies for the $7500 tax credit.
