2013 Renault ZOE – UK prices and specs
The Renault ZOE is a stylish and affordable car for everyday use to have been designed from the ground up as an electric vehicle. It’s perfect for commuting, supermarket and school runs. If you live in the UK you might find interesting that Renault announced specifications and pricing of their new EV.
ZOE is available in three trim levels – Expression, Dynamique Zen and Dynamique Intens – and is packed with a raft of innovations for a new form of motoring. The sleek supermini is the first vehicle to be equipped with “Range OptimiZEr” which combines three major innovations, bi-modal regenerative braking, a heat pump and MICHELIN Energy E-V tyres. Due to this, ZOE has the longest range of any electric vehicle in its class. With these MICHELIN tyres, in the NEDC cycle, ZOE is homologated with a range of 130 miles. While this figure gives a useful benchmark comparison, in real conditions and in suburban use, the owner will generally achieve around 60 miles in cold weather and 90 miles in temperate conditions.
ZOE is the only electric vehicle to feature the Chameleon charger. Patented by Renault, this charger is compatible with all power levels from 3kW up to 43kW. Charging batteries at a charging station can take between 30 minutes and nine hours, with 80 per cent of full battery power able to be achieved within 30 minutes using a Rapid Charger 43 kW AC power source.
Driving ZOE is a unique experience which gives new meaning to the term “driving pleasure”. The synchronous electric motor with rotor coil has a power output of 65kW, equivalent to 88hp, and instantly delivers maximum torque of 220Nm. Acceleration and pull-away are responsive from low speeds, while its top speed is limited to 84 mph. Driving is more relaxing, thanks to the silent ride and smooth, gearshift-free acceleration.
Ordering for ZOE is already open, prior to arriving in showrooms on June 7, 2013, with an on-the-road price of £13,650.
