The Ministry of Transport’s Circular 35 recently added regulations for driving licenses for electric motor vehicles.
Recently, the Ministry of Transport issued Circular 35/2024/TT-BGTVT regulating training, examination, and issuance of driving licenses; issuance and use of international driving permits; training, examination, and certification of road traffic law knowledge. The circular will take effect from January 1, 2025.
According to the circular, the curriculum and minimum time allocation for training electric cars will be similar to the training curriculum for automatic transmission car driving licenses of Category B.
Specifically, in terms of theoretical training, learners of electric car driving licenses will have to study the following contents: Road traffic law; construction and common repairs; morality, traffic culture, and prevention of harmful effects of alcohol and beer when participating in traffic; fire prevention and fighting skills, rescue and salvage; driving techniques; software for simulating traffic situations.
In terms of practical training, the time for learners of electric car driving licenses to practice driving in a driving yard is the same as that for manual transmission cars, at 41 hours. The time for practical driving on the road is 24 hours for electric cars and 40 hours for manual transmission cars. The number of hours of practice in the cabin for both electric car and manual transmission car learners is 2 hours each. The total training distance for an electric car learner is 1,000 km, while it is 1,100 km for a manual transmission car learner.
In reality, the operation and use of electric cars are no different from automatic transmission cars, only the names differ. Therefore, the Circular supplements the regulations for automatic electric vehicles.
According to Circular 35, a driving license holder is only allowed to drive the type of vehicle specified in the license.
