We know that the use of motor vehicles to travel needs to hold the corresponding driver's license, small cars generally need a class C driver's license, electric vehicles generally need a motorcycle license, so only hold a C3 driver's license, can you drive an electric car? #C3驾驶证能不能开电动车#
Get a first look at what a C3 driver's license is
First of all, let's have a preliminary understanding of what a C3 driver's license is, and what kind of car can you drive if you hold a C3 driver's license?
The vast majority of people know very well about C1 and C2 driver's licenses, but they don't know much about C3 driver's licenses, and the age of application for C3 driver's licenses is 18~60 years old, and the maximum can be used up to 70 years old. This driver's license test is more difficult than a motorcycle license, but it is less difficult than a C1 or C2 driver's license, so it is easier to get it if you want to compare.
Next, let's take a look at the quasi-driving type that can be driven with a C3 driver's license, according to the quasi-driving type code regulations, the C3 driver's license can drive a low-speed truck and a quasi-driving type with a C4 driver's license, which means that you can also use a three-wheeled vehicle.
Low-speed trucks refer to small trucks with a maximum speed of less than or equal to 70 km/h, a length of no more than 6 meters, a width of no more than 2 meters, and a total weight of no more than 4.5 tons.
Can I drive an electric car with a C3 driver's license?
If the owner only holds a C3 driver's license, can we drive the electric vehicles that we often see in our daily life? With only a C3 driver's license, you can drive the following three types of vehicles.
Type 1: Non-motorized electric vehicles
Since electric vehicles are also divided into two types: motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles, when using non-motor vehicle types of electric vehicles, you do not need a driver's license, you can easily drive without a driver's license, and you can naturally ride with a C3 driver's license. This type of electric vehicle mainly includes electric bicycles, shared electric vehicles, over-standard electric vehicles during the transition period, power-assisted electric vehicles, and so on.
Type 2: Electric three-wheeled vehicles
As we said above, in addition to driving low-speed trucks with a C3 driver's license, you can also drive a quasi-driving type with a C4 driver's license, that is, a three-wheeled vehicle, and many cities currently have electric three-wheeled vehicles.
The electric three-wheeled vehicle, although it has a three-wheel design architecture, belongs to the type of passenger car, and the difference from ordinary three-wheeled vehicles is that this model adopts a steering wheel-type control method.
Type 3: Low-speed electric four-wheelers
Low-speed electric four-wheeled vehicles, which are often referred to as old-fashioned scooters, look similar to small cars, but its performance is much lower, and the driving speed is less than 70 km/h, so when you are on the road, you only need to have a C3 driver's license to drive.
In the "Datong Electric Vehicle Management Regulations", which will be officially implemented on May 1, 2023, it is also clarified that those who drive small low-speed electric vehicles should be at least 18 years old and obtain a motor vehicle driver's license above C3, that is, if you hold a C3 driver's license, you can also drive low-speed electric four-wheeled vehicles.
Recognize the type of electric vehicle, and the wrong driving will deduct points and fines
When using electric vehicles, you must recognize the type of electric vehicle, if you drive the wrong model, it will be a quasi-driving type that does not match, will deduct 9 points from the driver's license, and a fine of 200 yuan.
For example, car owners who hold a C3 driver's license cannot drive motorcycle-type electric vehicles, including electric tricycles, electric mopeds, electric motorcycles, etc., because these models belong to the motorcycle type for management and need to hold a motorcycle license. Among them, an electric tricycle requires a D license, an electric moped requires an F license, and an electric motorcycle requires an E license.
Summary:
If the owner only holds a C3 driver's license when using an electric vehicle, he can also drive an electric vehicle, there are mainly 3 types of vehicles, including non-motorized vehicles that do not require a driver's license, electric three-wheeled vehicles, and low-speed electric four-wheeled vehicles, but motorcycle types of electric vehicles cannot be driven, such as electric tricycles, electric mopeds, etc., otherwise they are not in line with the quasi-driving type, and will be deducted points and fines. So, what do you think about this?
