What Kind of Driver's License is Required for Small Electric Vehicles?
1 Answers
Driving an electric vehicle requires a Class C driver's license. Here are the relevant details about driving electric vehicles: 1. Introduction to Electric Vehicles: Currently, there are two types of electric vehicles: One is a relatively simple so-called elderly scooter (also called an electric vehicle) that has not undergone national certification, approval, or recognition. This type of vehicle poses a high risk in terms of both safety performance and driving operations, and the traffic management authorities do not issue driver's licenses or license plates for such vehicles. The other type is a new energy vehicle—an electric vehicle—that has been approved and certified by the state. For this type, a driver's license must be obtained according to the vehicle's driving requirements and traffic regulations. 2. Relevant Regulations: Article 119, Paragraph 3 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that motor vehicles refer to wheeled vehicles powered or towed by power devices, used for carrying passengers or transporting goods on roads, as well as for special engineering operations. Therefore, electric vehicles fall under the management scope of motor vehicles. Drivers of electric vehicles must first obtain a motor vehicle driver's license. To drive an electric vehicle on the road, it must have complete and valid compulsory insurance procedures, be registered with the public security traffic management department, and have license plates and certificates.
