There should still be some measure of the incentives (and penalties) associated with EVs.

I suppose the easy solution would be to increase tax on gas, and lower it on electricity. That would also be the most fair IMO, but apparently people don't want that?
But that would make the hybrid more beneficial according to the gas savings. IDK maybe that somehow isn't entirely fair either?
