What Type of Driver's License is Required to Drive an Electric Vehicle on the Road?
1 Answers
Drivers of electric vehicles must hold a Class C driver's license to drive on the road. Electric vehicles are a general term for pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles. The length, width, and speed of electric vehicles are the same as those of motor vehicles, with a maximum speed of 60 km/h. The performance of electric vehicles far exceeds that of low-speed electric vehicles for the elderly, so electric vehicles are still classified as motor vehicles. For high-speed electric vehicles that require registration, a C1 driver's license is needed. For low-speed electric vehicles (elderly mobility vehicles), the government has not yet officially introduced a plan, so they do not require registration or a driver's license for the time being. It is important to understand that driving an electric vehicle is no different from driving a fuel-powered vehicle in terms of driver's license requirements. The requirements depend solely on the type of vehicle being driven: C1 License: Permits driving small cars; C2 License: Permits driving small automatic transmission cars; C3 License: Permits driving low-speed trucks; C4 License: Permits driving three-wheeled cars; A1 License: Permits driving large passenger vehicles; A3 License: Permits driving city buses with a capacity of 10 or more people; B1 License: Permits driving medium-sized passenger vehicles, including city buses with a capacity of 10 to 19 people.
