VW ID.3 Elektro – your driving school car for Class B in Munich
Lift your foot off the accelerator and the ID.3 slows to a complete stop on its own – silent, no need to touch the brake. This one-pedal driving is exactly what makes starting out in Haidhausen traffic so relaxed. At Peters Fahrschule you learn on a car that works with you, not against you.
Why you learn in the VW ID.3 Elektro
What we focus on with our learners in the ID.3 is one-pedal driving. Thanks to recuperation, the car already slows the moment you ease off the accelerator – in the strongest mode all the way to a full stop. So you control speed and following distance mostly with your right foot, keeping your brake foot free for the situations that really need it. Beginners develop a feel for anticipatory driving faster this way: you look further ahead because you come off the power early instead of braking late. In the stop-and-go on Rosenheimer Strasse that's worth its weight in gold – fewer pedal swaps, less jerking, a calmer head. The silent drivetrain helps too: you hear cyclists and other sounds more clearly and stay fully focused on observing traffic. You still learn braking, steering and scanning, of course – one-pedal driving just removes the stress, not the responsibility.
Technology & equipment at a glance
| Drivetrain | 100% electric, rear-wheel drive – no clutch, no shifting. Your head is free for observing traffic instead of picking gears. |
| Power | 204 hp (150 kW). Merging onto the A94 or the Mittlerer Ring, you slot in with ease and no frantic acceleration. |
| Transmission | Single-speed automatic – stalling is physically impossible. On a Giesing hill you never roll back, which takes huge pressure off the test. |
| Recuperation | Slows to a stop when you lift off the accelerator. This is our one-pedal theme: ease off early instead of constantly swapping to the brake. |
| IQ.Drive assistance | Emergency brake and lane-keeping assist. We use them as a safety net while practising – in the test you hold and check the lane yourself. |
| AR head-up display | Projects speed and prompts into your line of sight on the road. You keep your eyes ahead instead of glancing at the dash – ideal for reading traffic early. |
Assistance systems are a learning aid – you take the exam yourself.
What you may drive
Learning on the ID.3 automatic follows the B197 rule: you train relaxed in the EV without shifting, add a few manual practice sessions, and still earn the unrestricted Class B licence – manual cars included. You get the calm electric start without ending up with an "automatic only" restriction on your licence.

Locations & test area Munich East
At the lights on Rosenheimer Strasse heading to Ostbahnhof in heavy rush-hour traffic: you just lift off the accelerator, the ID.3 coasts gently and stops. No pedal swap, no jerking – while manual cars ahead nervously hunt for the clutch on the slope, your head is free for the cyclists in the bike lane.
Locations: Haidhausen (Rosenheimer Str. 86), Giesing (Grünwalder Str. 12) & Haar (Münchener Str. 13).
Frequently asked questions
Do you forget how to brake properly in an EV?
No. One-pedal driving only handles the gentle, anticipatory slowing. You still use and practise the mechanical brake pedal for every firmer or sudden stop – which is exactly what the test requires.
Isn't 204 hp too much for a beginner?
The power comes in smoothly and without gear jolts, so the car feels calmer than many manuals. You meter it with one pedal, with emergency brake assist running as a safety net. For city traffic in eastern Munich it's very manageable.
