I don't think they've defined just how many miles a hybrid has to be able to do on just electric power.. But fairly sure there will be a minimum under those new regs...
Good point, and a mild hybrid simply doesn’t run the car on electric power alone, so probably wouldn't be put in the same bracket as true hybrids, that would also mean it would be an unlikely feature of the 8.5 due to development costs, but who knows what the future holds, the date of the ICE ban seems to be up for debate anyway, if some news reports are to be believed!?
