As a result, less fuel is burnt, and the fuel economy improves. PHEVs can run as electric vehicles in cities, significantly reducing tailpipe pollution. A hybrid vehicle is powered by at least one electric motor and a gasoline engine, and its system recovers energy through regenerative braking.

But fuel tax revenues have not kept pace because the federal government and most states have not increased gasoline tax rates since early 1990s, while inflation has eroded their real buying power. In the meantime, cars and trucks have become more fuel-efficient.

Another plus: no tailpipe pollution. While traditional gas motorcycles use less gasoline and thus have lower emissions than passenger cars, motorcycle exhaust is higher in smog-forming pollutants and poisonous carbon monoxide, meaning that electric motorcycles (and EVs in general) are a great option to significantly improve air quality.
