Reannulat ZOE could make a real small electric revolution here in the next six months, because for around 15 thousand euros it offers electric mobility and a record 210 km range in the segment, and at the same time it is only necessary to pay extra monthly as in the case of buying a mobile phone from mobile operators 79 euros for battery rental.
You could with this e-mobility became much more accessible and also market interest for a lot a wider range of people as before. Is ZOE an attractive enough model to achieve this? Yes, judging by the reaction of passers-by when the vehicle was photographed in the center of the capital, we can guarantee that this is indeed the case. Most turned their heads with a great deal of interest when he did ZOE inaudibly "swished" past, and there were similarly positive comments when passers-by walked past the parked car.
Futuristically designed and designed raised clio
ZOE from a design point of view, it is not a classic Renault model, as it is not overly similar to any of the current models with a diamond on the bonnet, even though it is unmistakably "Renault" from a design point of view. Thus, with its very presence, it shows that it is a special model, since the bonnet does not have any openings for air intake, but special also lamps, headed by LED daytime running lights on an inflated bumper. In addition to the height, the one-room design is also shown by the slope of the engine cover, the angle of which almost perfectly matches the slope of the windshield. You could even say it works as a kind reduced space, which was recently presented at salon in Paris, but it is definitely a very futuristic designed and designed elevated clio.

Upon entering, the one-room design is confirmed, as entry is easy and seating is high. As a result, this also leads to better transparency and usability in the urban environment. The Si, however, borrowed the ZOE platform from the current Clio, with which they have a lot in common in terms of dimensions and proportions, only the previously mentioned height is significantly in favor of the ZOE. This means that it is a kind of electric mode, although it still lacks its modularity.
The interior is also more impressive and it is a mixture of futurism and prestige. The domain of the former includes digital gauges and an abundance of technical equipment, as well as the general appearance of the center console and certain materials. The domain of the latter includes quality materials, a two-tone dashboard and plenty of piano black on the center console, steering wheel, door handles and speaker surrounds, as well as an above-average amount of equipment that is (basically) not standard in the clio. These include automatic transmission, reverse camera and system R-link, which has a few more in ZOE "eco" functions.
With one charge to Koper and back
He takes care of the ZOE drive 65 kilowatts synchronous electric motor, which develops 220 Nm, and draws energy from the 22 kW/h lithium-ion batteries. Renault promises that the ZOE should be able to drive with one battery charge up to 210 km distance, which means that if you started from the capital (say from Viča), you could drive all the way to Koper and back and only then had to quickly find an outlet and charge the batteries. This only applies in ideal weather conditions and given the fact that you would not be driving on AC to Koper, but it is more realistic to expect a range of around 150 km, which again means that with one charge you can drive calmly to center Maribor and fill up the car enough for the trip back to the capital in the wee hours. Most people will not use the ZOE for such cases, but primarily only for driving in the city, through the streets of which the ZOE whizzes very inaudibly, and it may happen that on a narrow street you will even have to encourage the cyclist to pull over with the horn. He can also resent you for it and get a little drunk.
It is also almost inaudible in the passenger cabin, where the operation of the engine is accompanied only by a characteristic psearching sound and the sound of the wind, which is never annoying due to the good sealing. We also drove the ZOE quite a few kilometers on the highway to test its behavior in this "unnatural" environment, and we have to say that the drive here is also pleasant, it reaches cruising speeds surprisingly quickly (although not as much as the i3), and at the same time the wind is not annoying even at the maximum speed it reaches, and the suspension is not too stiff.
Emissions are always zero, even though it is important where the energy with which you charge your ZOE actually comes from. Advanced it's also just charging, where the system they named "Chameleon" it allows charging through any socket, depending on the voltage of that one, however the cycle lasts from 30 minutes to nine hours.
Another thousand a year for battery rental
The ZOE is such an exemplary utility and nimble city car with zero emissions, which at the same time will not completely empty your bank account. Renault deserves a lot of praise here, because for the price 14,500 euros they offer a fully electric vehicle, but it is true that you then pay the manufacturer a little under a thousand (948 euros) for battery rental for each year of use. This means that you will be ZOE cost 20 thousand in five years of use…ten years 25 and so on. But you have to start somewhere, and Renault's start is certainly good, as is the model in question.
