Renault Zoe
[DISCONTINUED] Long in the tooth, but the Renault Zoe is a brilliant EV.
No longer in production
The original Zoe was something of an EV pioneer, arriving back in 2012 with a 160km range and a battery that you leased separately to the rest of the car. Successive updates extended the range and dropped the battery leasing idea, and by the end of its life the Zoe was one of the best EVs you could buy - reasonably priced, long range and with pleasant driving dynamics. It’s been killed off to make way for the new Renault 5 EV, which is arguably more stylish and certainly more cost-efficient for Renault to build, but a used or nearly new Zoe is a terrific way to get yourself on the electric car ladder.Renault Zoe specifications
