The all-electric Renault ZOE will be launched on 7th June, 2013, and if you decide to buy one model for yourself, you will also receive the Single Wall-box, a free domestic charging point supplied and installed by Renault’s electric vehicle charging partner, British Gas. Renault is offering this both to new customers and those who’ve already pre-ordered ZOE.

This offer makes the most of the recently announced 75% support on domestic charger installations as part of the government’s £37m grant funding to increase take up of electric vehicles, with Renault contributing the remaining 25%. The offer will save a typical customer up to £500 and make the stylish 100% pure electric car even more affordable and easy to run.

Customers already save up to £5,000 on the price of their electric car from the government’s Plug-In Grant. In the ZOE’s case, this brings the car’s on-the-road price (£13,650 to £14,750 depending on trim level) down to an equivalent diesel supermini and becomes yet another incentive to make the switch to electric vehicles.

British Gas will install a 32 amp (7kW) ZE ready Single Wall-box with all new and pre-ordered purchases, and have it fully operational ready for owners well in advance of charging their electric ZOE at home for the first time.

The automaker say that the process will be seamless – when customers place a ZOE order, British Gas will be informed straight away. They will then simply contact customers to arrange a convenient time for a home survey and installation, approximately one month before delivery of the car.

Renault believes that around 90% of charging will take place at home, with the ZOE’s battery able to be charged from completely flat to fully charged in three and a half hours with the offered wall-box. As an added ‘green’ bonus, the data-enabled type 2 wall-box also allows customers to see how much energy the car is using and the comparable emissions savings they are making via an online app. The ZOE can also be fast charged to 80% of its capacity in just 30 minutes using public Rapid-Charger 43kW power sources.

The Single Wall-box can be installed at any UK residential address with a GPRS signal, and has an attached lead, meaning that drivers don’t have to delve into the boot at night to find the cable to plug in. The cable is 4.5 metres long, ensuring that even customers with off-street parking will be able to charge their ZOE easily. Also included in the package is free access to the public charging network across the UK.

Commenting on its latest initiative, Renault UK’s Andy Heiron, Head of Electric Vehicle Programme, said, “We’ve been delighted with the level of interest the British public have already shown in the ZOE, recognising the major steps forward it makes in electric vehicle technology. Adding a free Wall-box to its chic styling and tempting pricing now makes it an even more irresistible proposition.”

The ZOE is the latest of Renault’s four-strong 100% electric vehicle range, and is one of the first affordable fully electric vehicles. ZOE’s official NEDC range is 130 miles, with a real-world range of around 90 miles in temperate conditions or 60 in cold weather.
