Do small electric four-wheelers require a driver's license?
1 Answers
Electric vehicles are classified as motor vehicles and must have complete and valid documentation (including a driver's license, vehicle registration, license plates, insurance, etc.) to be legally driven on the road. Regulatory issues: Current regulations in mainland China only mention electric vehicles with speeds below 30 km/h, classifying them as non-motor vehicles. However, reality has clearly diverged from these regulations. Electric vehicle technology has advanced significantly, and their speeds are no longer limited to low levels. Four-wheel electric vehicles themselves do not have vehicle registration certificates, and there is no mandatory requirement for drivers to hold a license, resulting in a lack of corresponding management measures. There is also no compulsory insurance. Points to note: Most electric vehicle drivers lack awareness of traffic rules, frequently running red lights, driving in the wrong direction, and changing lanes arbitrarily.
