Here is an interesting detail. It's true that CARB has stated that by 2035 100% of cars sold in CA will need to be Zero-Emissions Vehicles (ZEV). But what qualifies as a ZEV?
ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/advance...n-cars-program/about
"The ZEV regulation is designed to achieve the state’s long-term emission reduction goals by requiring auto manufacturers to offer for sale specific numbers of the very cleanest cars available. These vehicle technologies include full battery-electric, hydrogen fuel cell, and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles."
It turns out a plug-in hybrid is included in the list. So it seems like a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq, Toyota Prius, or Kia Niro would all qualify as ZEV vehicles since they can and do run on battery only for short trips. And they all have gas engines for longer trips. And they all cost in the range of $25k, which is not the cheapest car be not crazy expensive like a Telsa or a "Limited" F150.
A bit more detail here:

As I mentioned before, CARB set of goal of 10% of total sales for ZEV by 2003. But when it became clear that wasn't feasible, they created the Partial ZEV (PZEV) classification. This was even before the first hybrid vehicles hit the market. Many PZEV vehicles were just regular gas cars that had very clean burning engines. The original 1990 regulation was intended to reduce smog, and I guess a PZEV maybe produces near zero smog contributing chemicals, but it can still be a car that burns nothing but gas.

This update is certainly a big push away from gas-only cars, but CARB is clearly willing to revise targets based on what technology is available.
