You would need to specify whether or not you were referring to a Class C CDL, and, if you weren't, then you'd need to specify which state you were referring to.

CDLs are federally regulated, and the classifications are universal throughout. A Class C CDL, with the appropriate endorsements, would be used to operate vehicles under 26,001 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) which were being used to transport hazardous materials, or are buses designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver).

Some states also have a non-CDL Class C licence. Unlike Commercial Driver Licences, classifications for non-CDL licences are not universal throughout the states. Typically, a state which still uses the non-CDL Class C would have that as their "standard" drivers licence, allowing the licence holder to operate vehicles up to 26,000 lbs. GVWR. If you look in your state's drivers handbook (you can find it online), it will tell you what the licence classifications are for your state.

What road license is needed for an electric car?

To drive an electric car, you typically need a standard driver's license, as electric vehicles (EVs) do not require a special license beyond what is needed for conventional vehicles.
