The new Renault Twingo ZE: the electric little one from Novi Mesto

The cute little Renault Twingo will soon be available in full electric form. Renault Twingo ZE will have a capacity battery 21.3 kWh and had enough energy to do 180 kilometers a long way. In the case of urban driving and smaller ones load, this distance will be able to increase up to 250 kilometers. The electric Twingo will be powered by an electric motor with 60 kW (81 hp) power and 160 Nm of torque. Even with the electric version of Twinga, the drive remains on the last one wheeled couple. The Twinga ZE will be able to be charged with power from 2 to 22 kW.

When charging at a regular home socket (2.3 kW), we will need to charge the battery 13 hours and 30 minutes. In the case of a wall-mounted charging station with power 3.7 kW, the battery will be full after 8 hours connection, in case of higher voltage (7.4 kW) and in 4 hours. At the charging point with 11 kW power, the battery will be full in 2 hours and 10 minutes, but if we have everyone available 22 kW charging power, and the battery will be full after 62 minutes charging.

Except for a few obvious ones "electrical" changes, the Twingo remains almost identical to the one powered by an internal combustion engine. It still is endearing, nimble and extraordinary useful in inclined city centers. The Twingo ZE will be launched in the near future motor show in Geneva.
