Broadly speaking there are few differences in terms of the driving experience between an automatic electric car and an automatic petrol, although the response of the throttle and the lack of engine noise are the most obvious. As your partner is new to driving the mechanics of the process do not differ significantly - the difference between learning in an automatic and a manual is greater - and if she will be driving the Dacia once she has passed her test it makes more sense for her to learn in that car. It would also avoid the need to source a second car just for the purposes of learning too.

As for the cost of insurance, we would advise using price comparison sites to obtain quotes for adding her as a named driver. These will allow you to enter your details and compare hundreds of insurance providers to quickly narrow down the best price.
