Electromobility in Jüterbog: Driving instructor Zimmermann despite prejudices!

Jüterbog, Deutschland - electromobility is a hot iron in the driving schools, and Christoph Zimmermann from Jüterbog is a good example of this. The committed driving instructor relies on two electric cars in his driving school and emphasizes the advantages of e-mobility, especially with regard to running and response. He wants to familiarize his students with the latest technology and pave their way into a sustainable future. However, he also notices that many parents are skeptical about the topic of electromobility, mainly because of concerns about the range and the loading process of the vehicles. The 16-year-old student Merle Schiemenz is planning to drive a petrol engine, which corresponds to her parents' wishes, while she is curious about e-mobility.

But the infrastructure in Jüterbog is not ideal. The city only has two public charging stations, including one at the discounter, which is considered inadequate by many. Therefore, Zimmermann has installed its own wall box in his driving school to secure the operation of the electric vehicles. An important aspect is also that electric cars offer tax advantages by 2030, although Zimmermann sees the high costs and the cumbersome when setting up private loading facilities as a challenge.

The change in training

In the driving school training, a lot has changed with the introduction of the key number B197. This enables the driving students to take the test on automatic vehicles after they have been driven on the switching car for at least ten hours. Zimmermann adapts to this development and now no longer offers practical exams in switching cars. He realizes that the role of the driving instructor is increasingly changing, with a stronger focus on digital education and modern technologies.

Another argument that is often asked for security concerns. Merle assumes security concerns because e-cars are quieter due to their noise development, which could endanger pedestrians and cyclists. Zimmermann takes this fear seriously and emphasizes that the noticeable feedback should not be underestimated when driving combustioners - there is a clear advantage in the classic vehicles.

• Jüterbog has only two public charging stations, one of them at the discounter.
• Zimmermann has installed its own wall box for the operation of his driving school.
• The key number B197 enables exams on automatic vehicles after ten driving lessons in the switching car.
• Zimmermann no longer leads practical exams on switching cars.

For many young people, electromobility is becoming an exciting topic faster and faster. Pupils like Helena are enthusiastic about the technology they get to know in the driving school. At her first hour of driving in the electric car ID.4, she enjoys relieving the automatic transmission and masters the change from drive to brake mode, even if this type of recuperation is initially unusual.

How the future of electromobility is designed in driving school training remains exciting. But Christoph Zimmermann shows that he has a good hand to optimally prepare his students for the upcoming challenges. The foundations for a new, sustainable driving culture are now laid - and that is only the beginning!
