Do you need a driver's license for electric cars?

Ordinary electric vehicles are non-motor vehicles and do not need a driver's license.

Electric vehicles include electric bicycles and electric motorcycles. Electric bicycle is a kind of special bicycle with battery as auxiliary energy, which can realize the functions of human riding, electric or electric assistance. The maximum speed is not more than 20km/h, and the vehicle mass is not more than 40kg. Electric motorcycle is a two-wheeled motorcycle driven by electricity, and its maximum design speed is more than 50 km/h.

According to the relevant provisions of China's Road Traffic Safety Law and the definitions of ordinary electric vehicles and electric motorcycles, driving electric motorcycles must hold a motorcycle driver's license in accordance with relevant regulations. Citizens who buy electric cars must distinguish whether they own electric bicycles or electric motorcycles. Although they are all electric vehicles, they are different vehicles for the traffic police department. There is also an electric car that is also a four-wheeled vehicle. If you drive on the road without a license, you will be detained by the traffic police.

Electric vehicle is actually a general term for pure electric vehicle, hybrid vehicle and fuel cell vehicle, which is famous for its many advantages such as environmental protection and low use cost. At present, China has issued a number of policies to promote electric vehicles, and the support of policies has also promoted the development of electric vehicles. However, electric vehicles are classified as traditional low-speed electric vehicles because they generally only need to be charged and do not need to refuel.

Brief history of battery car development

History of development of battery cars: It originated in the 1980s of 19, and was used as private cars, trucks and urban public transport vehicles. It is not a disadvantage that the battery car is slow and the charging mileage is limited, but its advantages of no noise and low maintenance cost make it popular. Before 1920, battery cars have been competing with gasoline cars. Later, battery cars began to decrease, because electric starters made gasoline cars more attractive, and mass production reduced the cost of gasoline cars.

In Europe, electric cars have been used as short-distance trucks. Since the 1970s, countries have shown new interest in electric vehicles, especially due to the influence of foreign oil and environmental problems, the speed and driving distance of battery cars have been improved again and again. With people's constant concern about automobile energy and pollution, the continuous improvement of battery car technology and the continuous expansion of application, the future development prospect of battery car is bright.
