Ah, I see.

I googled PZEV, and apparently all it means is that it isn't releasing gasoline vapours - other emissions don't matter.

So it's essentially just an ICE engine car that's not super polluting. It has nothing to do with EVs apart from being misleading in its name (perhaps on purpose?).

No.

PZEV means partial zero-emotions vehicle… it is just STAR-STOP.

When you stop, the car shuts off and when it’s off it isn’t emitting anything. That is what it means.

It’s a total scam. Subaru was the first to put a logo on a US government mandated requirement (that made no sense).
