The trade journal RijschoolPro investigated the willingness of driving school owners to use an electric car or hybrid for driving lessons. A minority would like to, but the majority (more than 50 percent) still stick to the traditional petrol or diesel car. A number of respondents (7 percent of the total) indicated that they already take lessons in an electric car.
Many instructors are against this. And because of code 78; the endorsement that a student receives on the driver's license when he or she takes lessons and takes the exam in a vehicle with an automatic transmission. If you have code 78 on your pink card, you are not allowed to drive a vehicle with a manual gearbox, only an automatic one. After all, you have never learned how to connect and switch.
An electric car is always automatic. Most don't even have a gearbox (the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-Tron GT have a two-speed automatic). For the time being, code 78 on your driver's license is still too great a restriction, according to the driving instructors. Only when the government decides to stop using that code, the majority of them are willing to switch to a training car with a plug, RijschoolPro writes.
