They do now.

Answer 2

i dont think so...

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

Automobile license plates or driver's licenses?

No.

Answer 5

The rules of the road are the same, regardless of what you drive, so no.

Answer 6

They should have to get new licenses for their giant SUVs that they don't know how to drive or park!

Answer 7

No because for the most part they function the same way.

Model-Ts are nothing like today's cars, but you can drive them with your same car-class license.

Answer 8

licence will be the same for the automobiles but the additional training about the cars are required.

Answer 9

No They had electric cars briefly in CA when I was there--I never heard of any owner needing to get a new license for one.  It's more about the 'rules of the road' and your competence driving a certain class vehicle.

Also, my son didn't need a special license to drive his gilrfriend's recently-purchased hybrid car.

Answer 10

A few upcling EVs will be three-wheeled vehicles classified as motorcycles, so people may need to get motocycle class licenses to drive them.  For example:

However, most EVs and all plug-in hybrids will be regular four-wheeled vehicles which drive just like regular cars, so no new licenses will be required.

Answer 11

Not sure why they would need to.  A car is a car.  The rules are the same no matter what kind of car you drive.  Now if you drive 18 wheelers and such sure you need a new licence because they have different rules.
