If you’re a learner driver wondering whether learning to drive in an electric car is easier or harder, or whether an electric car could affect your driving test nerves, this video is for you. We talk honestly about what electric cars feel like for learners, including the pros and cons, how they compare to petrol and diesel cars, and whether features like one-pedal driving, instant acceleration, and quiet engines help or hinder learner drivers. I also share my thoughts on whether I’d choose an electric car for a real driving test — and why it might actually reduce pressure for some learners. If you’ve ever worried about: • Taking your driving test in a car you’re not used to • Whether electric cars are harder to control • If an electric car could increase or reduce test-day nerves • Choosing the right car to learn to drive in …this video will give you clarity and reassurance. Whether you’re preparing for your practical driving test, watching mock driving tests, learning in an electric car, or just curious if EVs are the future for learner drivers — this is a real, honest look from a driving instructor’s perspective. 📍 Filmed in Coventry 🚗 Electric car mock driving test 🧠 Learner-focused advice, not car reviews
