" We are offering electric car driving lessons as part of an ongoing innovation process of responding to the changing driving industry, establishing what is possible for the future, and assessing demand for different car types. As electric car use grows in popularity, we expect that electric car tuition will increase over the coming months and years"

1-What Differences Can Learners Expect Between an EV and a Car With a Regular Combustion Engine?

EV’s have the advantage of clean acceleration unbroken by gear changes and they are very responsive. When switching to combustion, pupils might notice the lag and interrupted acceleration but again, these are just sensation issues. 95% of driving is about what happens outside the windows such as planning, anticipation, interacting with other road users and these skills are the same no matter the vehicle.

2-What Are The Benefits of Learning to Drive in an EV?

An EV can function just like any automatic car allowing for transferable skills, I would teach any variations the same way I teach the differences between any cars. An EV is unlikely to be the pupil's first car but it might be their second or third car, learning in an electric car gives them experience with the inevitable and long overdue modernization of transport.

3-Better For The Environment

With instructors giving multiple lessons a day, their cars are continuously giving off emissions which produces a negative impact on the environment. However, by switching to electric cars, this will cut down some of the emissions given off every day by cars, as a high percentage will be electric instead. Today, young people are more concerned about the environment and are actively aware of their carbon footprint. Knowing that learning to drive in an electric car is more beneficial for the environment, will encourage young learners to choose an electric vehicle, as opposed to a conventional car. As you can see, there are a number of pros to learning to drive in an electric car for both the learner and the instructor. From helping the environment to saving money, the future is sure to see more and more driving schools using electric cars instead.
