They could structure the rebate so than range and not KWH was the criteria for the rebate.
A good example being the Ford Escape PHEV vs the RAV4 PHEV the Ford with better efficiency has a smaller battery and only qualifies for the $2500 rebate whereas the RAV4 qualifies for the larger rebate. So the lower impact vehicle gets a lower rebate because they went with a smaller electric engine.
