Can low-speed electric vehicles go on the road? What are the rules on the road?

Now there are more and more electric vehicles in the market, and many people also choose electric vehicles. Electric vehicles are a relatively environmentally friendly vehicle, but because the market is not very mature, there are many matters that need to be paid attention to. So many people are thinking, can low-speed electric vehicles go on the road?

The traffic police department said: the speed of the elderly scooter and the elderly electric vehicle is based on the national standard of electric wheelchair, and the speed is limited to 10 km / h. If speeding, or used for illegal operation and loading, will be punished in accordance with the provisions of the road traffic safety law. Electric vehicles belong to four-wheel motor vehicles. Driving on the road without a license will be detained according to law. As long as it is on the road and is recognized as a motor vehicle, the driver needs to have a driver's license.

However, electric vehicles are collectively referred to as pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles and fuel cell vehicles. The length, width and speed of electric vehicles are the same as those of motor vehicles. The maximum speed is 60 km / h, and the vehicle performance is much higher than that of elderly scooters. Therefore, electric vehicles are still motor vehicles, and drivers must hold class C driver's license before driving on the road.

According to Article 99 of China's safety law, Whoever drives a motor vehicle without a motor vehicle driver's license, whose motor vehicle driver's license is revoked or whose motor vehicle driver's license is temporarily suspended shall be fined not less than 200 yuan but not more than 2000 yuan and may also be detained for not more than 15 days. If a traffic accident occurs when driving a motor vehicle without a license, criminal responsibility may be borne according to the seriousness of the traffic accident.

Therefore, remind the majority of drivers, whether motor vehicles or electric cars, holding legal procedures and driving licenses is the guarantee for their own and others' safety. In the event of a traffic accident, the traffic police will be responsible for the accident in a fair and impartial manner. Therefore, electric cars should also drive according to the regulations to achieve safe driving.

The United States requires vehicles to register and buy insurance. Whether low-speed electric vehicles can finally go on the road depends on the grass-roots municipal or town government. Japan does not allow private purchase, but can only use free trial, leasing and sharing. Generally, it needs to be registered according to the requirements of light vehicle license plate, and the vehicle needs special inspection before registration. When applying for the pilot, the local government or organization shall form a detailed implementation plan, which shall clarify the specific responsibilities and obligations of transportation departments, automobile enterprises and associations, local governments, vehicle users and other parties, and the plan shall be implemented after being approved by the transportation branch under the Ministry of land, resources and transportation.
