Three electric vehicles (EVs) have been added to the AA Driving School’s choice list for its franchised driving instructors.
From this month (June), AA Driving School franchisees can opt for a Mini Aceman SE, VW ID3 Pro Hatch or BYD Dolphin Comfort.
In 2024, more than 68,000 hours of driving lessons were taught by AA Driving School franchisees in EVs.
Emma Bush, managing director of AA Driving School, said: “We are really excited to be able to offer these fantastic electric vehicles to our franchised driving instructors.
“As we head closer to 2030 and the ban on the sale of new combustion cars, more and more learners will want to learn in an electric vehicle as that’s all they will plan to drive.
“We're here to help instructors build successful businesses and an important part of that is offering a wide choice of vehicles to ensure they always meet rising consumer demand.”
She added: “The new cars are all great models to learn in giving our franchised instructors a modern tuition car to teach the next generation of driver in.”
