“Please note that the fee does not apply to hybrids - which some watermelon somewhere has decided just aren’t good enough.”
Hybrids are gas-powered.
I am glad that the legislature kept that rule in.
Hybrids use about 1/70th of the lithium that a full on EV does, and usually deliver better mileage than an ICE.
Most of the technologies first developed for hybrids can also cross over to ICE.
Let the hybrids keep sipping fuel. At least they pay some gas tax.
