Prepare for a Hybrid or Electric Car with Automatic Driving Lessons with Stuart
The way we drive is changing.
From 2030, the sale of new cars powered solely by petrol or diesel is due to be phased out in the UK. Some new hybrid cars may continue to be sold until 2035, after which new cars will need to be zero-emission.
Are you considering changing to a hybrid or fully electric car?
If you have only ever driven a manual vehicle, now is an excellent time to become familiar with driving an automatic.
Hybrid and Electric Cars Are Automatic
Most full hybrid and fully electric cars use automatic transmission. There is no clutch pedal and no need to change gears manually.
Although automatic cars can be easier to operate, they may initially feel unfamiliar to someone who has always driven a manual vehicle.
You may need time to become comfortable with:
-
Using only your right foot for the accelerator and brake
-
Selecting Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive
-
Understanding regenerative braking
-
Moving away smoothly and safely
-
Controlling the vehicle at low speeds
-
Parking an automatic car
-
Driving in busy traffic
-
Understanding hybrid and electric vehicle controls
A professional automatic driving lesson can help you adjust safely and confidently.
Don’t Wait Until You Buy the Car
Changing from a manual car to a hybrid or electric vehicle can feel like a big step.
Rather than buying your new car and trying to work everything out on your own, book an automatic refresher lesson first. This allows you to practise with an experienced instructor in a safe and controlled environment.
One or two lessons may be enough to help you understand the main differences and feel more comfortable behind the wheel.

At Rev and Go Automatic Driving School, every refresher lesson is designed around your individual experience and confidence.

Learn in a Toyota Yaris Hybrid
Lessons take place in a modern Toyota Yaris Hybrid with automatic transmission and dual controls.
This gives you practical experience of driving a hybrid vehicle while having the reassurance and support of a professional driving instructor beside you.
Who Are These Lessons For?
Automatic refresher lessons are suitable for:
-
Manual drivers considering a hybrid car
-
Drivers thinking about buying an electric vehicle
-
Anyone who has never driven an automatic
-
Nervous or anxious drivers
-
People returning to driving after a break
-
Older drivers who want an easier driving experience
-
Drivers who want help understanding modern vehicle controls
Whether you need a single introductory lesson or several confidence-building sessions, your tuition can be tailored to suit you.
Will the 2030 Rules Affect Your Current Car?
The changes relate to the sale of new vehicles.
You will still be able to drive your existing petrol, diesel or hybrid car after 2030. Used petrol and diesel vehicles can also continue to be bought and sold.
However, as more drivers move towards hybrid and fully electric cars, automatic driving skills are likely to become increasingly useful.
