Electric vehicles

Electric vehicles are great fun to drive, they are quiet, powerful and packed with technology.

However, if you've no experience with driving one, there are a few things you really do need to know, mainly around safety, range and charging.

This course is designed for first-time users of electric vehicles, including those who just want to understand that little bit more about their electric vehicle, covering the 'wish I knew that' sooner rather than later things!

This course is of relevance to those driving pure-electric cars or vans, but will also prove helpful for those who drive a hybrid, particularly when driving it in its electric mode.

Course cost:  £89.95 plus £17.99 VAT (Total £107.94)

If you have multiple drivers to train, please get in touch, let's discuss costs!
