Certainly understand wanting to find a way to collect Road fees for EV's, what I don't understand is the need to collect that from Hybrid's at least the gas powered ones. I own one and get an average of 35 mpg. This seems as though you are attempting to penalize someone for buying a fuel efficient car. Maybe you leave the gas tax alone so you are collecting money for out of state users and adding a surcharge on EV when they renew their tabs is a better approach. You're still not going to capture the out of state money but you will get more of the local money.
