Do you need a driver's license to drive a new energy vehicle?

[LeBryce]

Driving a new energy vehicle requires a driver's license. There are many types of new energy vehicles, but in terms of vehicle length, width, and speed, they are the same as motor vehicles and are classified as motor vehicles in nature. Therefore, a driver's license must be carried while driving. New energy vehicles and ordinary vehicles both fall under the category of motor vehicles. According to the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," drivers must have a driver's license corresponding to the appropriate driving level to operate a motor vehicle on the road. Otherwise, it is considered unlicensed driving. Therefore, when driving a motor vehicle, the driver should carry the motor vehicle driver's license. Failure to carry the driver's license is a violation of the law and may result in corresponding penalties. The required driver's license level for household new energy vehicles is C-class or above, which is no different from driving an ordinary car. However, the standard for obtaining a C2 driver's license can be appropriately lowered. Electric vehicles are first and foremost cars, and secondly, they are electric. The attributes of a car will not differ due to differences in the driving machine or the energy used.
