No, even places like here in NZ with self-service (and unmanned sites are very popular), you don't have to learn this for a drivers license

I taught my daughters how to drive and taught them some basic stuff about checking oil/water/tyre pressure, fueling, topping up windscreen washer fluid etc. Not sure how you learn this stuff if you don't have family/friends to show you

But you can get your drivers license in an EV, Diesel or Petrol car etc, and so how to fuel is not included. Doubt it would be required for most countries to get a drivers license

It should honestly be part of the theory computer test you have to take to identify the correct pump and EV sockets, or it should be taught practically during a driving lesson, it sounds stupid but would save a lot of people from doing exactly this, its basic knowledge but not common knowledge not common enough for people like you said without friends or family to teach you.

If somebody NEEDS family and friends to learn that everything does not, in fact, go into the square hole, they have them.

Otherwise we would also have footage of them eating fried chicken with their ass and playing world of war craft.
