Twenty-five years ago, people at that time still relied on human-powered bicycles and tricycles to travel. Later, electric vehicles came out and developed rapidly in our country. It can be said that electric vehicles are upgraded models of bicycles, which greatly facilitate public travel. But now, electric vehicles have become a mature travel tool and have formulated a series of regulations, among which driver's license is the one that everyone is most concerned about.
Driver's license is widely used in cars and is the most recognized by everyone at the moment. However, the application of driver's licenses on electric vehicles is still based on written regulations and has not been put into practice in many areas. However, as electric vehicles will become more complete and more standardized, it is only a matter of time before the popularity of driver's licenses becomes available. So the following is a summary of the two-wheeled/three-wheeled/ four-wheeled electric vehicle driver's license issues, involving costs and age, which are worthy of attention!
Electric vehicles that require a driver’s license
It was mentioned above that electric vehicles require a driver’s license, but do all electric vehicles require a driver’s license? Which electric vehicles do not require a driver's license? It all starts with the new national standard released in 2019.
In the past, the classification of electric vehicles was not so clear, which resulted in electric vehicles with strange shapes and unknown power and battery life. In April 2019, the new national standard was introduced. From that time on, electric vehicles have been clearly divided. You can see the difference between the new national standard and the old national standard in the picture above. In summary, is the national standard electric bicycle that meets this standard. At the same time, it is not a motor vehicle and can be legally on the road without a driver's license.
Of course, there are two categories of electric vehicles, one is electric motorcycles with speeds greater than 50km/h, and the other is electric light motorcycles with speeds between 25-50km/h. These two types of vehicles only need to have 3C certification and factory qualification. Proofs such as certificates and car purchase invoices also comply with the new national standard , but they are just motor vehicles, so a driver's license is required to legally drive on the road. At the same time, electric tricycles and low-speed four-wheelers are also motor vehicles, and the most basic requirements are to have a license plate and a driver's license.
So to summarize, the electric vehicles that require a driving license include "two-wheeled electric motorcycles, electric light motorcycles, electric three-wheeled vehicles, and low-speed four-wheeled vehicles."
Driving licenses for various types of electric vehicles
It can be said that except for electric bicycles, all other electric vehicles now require a driver's license. So what kind of driver's license do all types of electric vehicles need? Kankan has sorted it out for everyone and explained it clearly at once!
(1). Electric motorcycles , Electric light motorcycles
Electric motorcycles and electric light motorcycles have similar properties, so they are put together. Among them, electric motorcycles have higher requirements because their speed is greater than 50km/h and require D Or E certificate, and the speed of electric light motorcycle is 25-50km/h, so one of D, E or F certificate is required.
Note: electric motorcycles can carry one adult, but electric motorcycles cannot carry people.
(2). Load-carrying tricycles, caravans , and micro-electric sedans
load-carrying tricycles are used to pull goods. Caravans and micro-electric sedans are considered one kind of vehicle, that is, tricycles with a canopy. Generally speaking, these three types of vehicles A D certificate is required to legally drive on the road.
Note: Cars such as are not allowed on the road in some areas, and some are restricted in urban areas.
(3). Recreational tricycle
Recreational tricycle is a relatively special existence among tricycles. Due to its compact body and low difficulty of driving, it can be legally on the road as long as it has an F certificate.
(4). Low-speed four-wheeled vehicles
Low-speed four-wheeled vehicles are often referred to as "Old Man's Joy" because they are affordable and can provide protection from wind and rain, and are loved by the elderly. However, this type of vehicle does not have a new national standard and is illegal. It is temporarily classified as a new energy vehicle and requires C1 or C2 before driving.
Note: There is no new national standard for low-speed four-wheel vehicles, and they are prohibited from being used on the road in some areas, so everyone should understand the local policies. If they are prohibited from being used on the road, do not buy or use them on the road to avoid being fined.
Ages and fees for various types of driver's licenses

(The minimum age requirement for all the above driver's licenses is 18 years of age)

It will be more expensive in big cities; Category E and F are two-wheeled motorcycle tests and do not require training, so only the registration fee is required, and the cost is about 400 yuan; D certificate is a three-wheeled vehicle test, and no training is required, and the cost is about 700 yuan . (The above are only approximate values, and the fees will vary in different regions)
