Renault Zoe: In-depth review with Tom Ford / Electrifying

I hope you get paid. You deserve it.

Mini Cooper=YES, Kia Soul=YES , BMW I3=YES, VW ID3=YES , Zoe=NO!! ==> 0 point in CRASH-TEST Euro NCAP!! And boring design...

Very helpful review, im in the process of moving from PHEV to EV and the Zoe looks idea

Zero star Euro NCAP safety rating in recent tests (enough said )

It's a shame they didn't add seat adjustment. I'm 6'3 and it's a terrible position for me. Literally the only thing that stopped me getting one

Are you kidding, £30,000 for this size car you must be joking. Not height adjustment in the front seats. No CCS Charging ability unless you pay another £1,000 on the price of the car.Renault you have got this car totally wrong. You are just trying to exploit the increased distance between charging to justify such a small car for £30,000.

I’m a bit late to watch this but the newest Zoe that came out last year, the 52kwh, wasn’t available in the UK with battery lease option. And since then they are offering battery buy back for all previous model battery lease schemes, the 22kwh and 40kwh.

If it only had ACC!

I do exactly what you say. I don't have home charging so I charge it when I do the weekly shop...Really good car.

Battery capacity in kWh please. Kilowatt is a unit of power, not energy storage capacity.

Yes, totally agree with the conclusion. After 45 years with our current ZOE Mk.1 we sonn will get the recent Mk. ZOE and we are perfectly happy. However, we have the DCC option and would highly recommend it even though we might not use it often ;-)

No comment about "Battery Leasing" Again!

The fast change option should include battery heating and cooling. You can't fast charge a cool battery.

Last time I looked CCS option had been put up to £1K (not available at all on the base Play version either).

Will range drops if you travel 100kms daily via motorway/expressway rather than city driving?

Great review, love how u explain the charging for people who can only equate it to gas filling

nice

Not sure you answered the question..... How does it actually compare to a Corsa-e or the e208 ? The problem I am having is that we want 2 electric cars - the family wagon (something slightly posh like the Polestar2) and a runabout that could still handle a 150+ mile journey. The runabout will come first as the S3 lease ends in September and the Polestar2 maybe months away so we will be in limbo. I am expecting a Leaf to be feeling a bit old, the Zoe a bit small and feminine to look at, the e208 to be expensive and the Corsa-e to be anonymous. Head says Zoe GT-Line with rapid charge, ego says e208, the Mrs says to fly under the radar in a Corsa-e and the bank balance says the Leaf for value for money and size (Ioniq is so dull to look at I think I'd be embarrassed to be seen in it. MG is carrying an image problem, slightly lacks range and shouts "cheapskate"). Help..... I need to order something on lease in the next 2 or 3 weeks!

I miss your long hair

52 kWh... Not kW

Ugly car imo costs more than a Mercedes A class AMG Line

Way to expensive !

Helpful review for a novice first time EV buyer here! Thanks

Commentary said that energy is wasted when braking and that instead slowing the car with B mode recovers it ... but actually when you press the brake pedal in a Zoe you do get regen and recover energy that way as well ... only when braking harshly do the friction brakes get involved.

CCS is available on the "Iconic" trim as well. It's only the base "Play" model that can't have it.

Ahem. DC Rapid Charge has been a £1000 upgrade since 1st April, not £750.

Another good review
