Lease the Renault ZOE Electric Hatchback 80KW i Iconic

Another key pioneer in the electric car world, and one which needs recognition, is the Renault Zoe. A super-mini/city car, the Zoe has been in worldwide production for just over 7 years (with the original idea dating back to 2009); this is some considerable time longer than the newer product coming to the markets during 2020! A positive strategic alliance with Nissan (and Mitsubishi) has enabled Renault to grow a genuine electric offering with both this and its Kangoo (a small commercial vehicle).

Are electric cars cheap enough? One of the main barriers to entry is the initial cost price of an EV, not taking into account any Government grants. While there are a number of executive salon and luxury SUVs in the electric car market, Renault have created a mass-market option which is affordable for personal and business leasing customers alike. To further benefit customers, Renault updated their Zoe and Kangoo models in 2019, with 2020 being the crucial release year for their new EVs.

So can you enjoy an electric life with the Renault Zoe (as they state)? The latest revision has seen significant changes to both the aesthetics of the vehicle (interior and exterior) plus some great battery improvements. One of the main critiques of the Zoe was that it fell short of the combustion competitors – the VW Polo, Ford Fiesta, Nissan Micra. Why would a customer pay more for a less attractive small car with less specification and a limited range? With the new Zoe, customers now have modern car which looks great (like the ever-popular Clio) plus a usable electric range.

The lithium-ion battery has a 52kWh usable capacity and a comprehensive warranty of 8 years or 100,000 miles. So how far will the new Zoe go? With a WLTP range of nearly 240 miles, you can probably expect real world driving of just over 230 miles in Summer with a reduced mileage of around 150 in the colder winter times. Charging times will depend on what you are plugging into; a 7kW charge point will take just over 9 hours for 0-100% with a faster 22kW AC charge point doing the same in around 3 hours. Performance-wise, you can enjoy the 80 or 100kW options. The former will offer 109ps and 0-62 times of 11.4 seconds (with an 84mph top speed) whereas the latter increases power to 135ps and reduces 0-62 times to 9.5 seconds (with an 87mph top speed). Add the “Rapid Charge” option to your Zoe and you can utilise the quicker DC charging. Via the CCS fastcharge port you can achieve 0-80% in just over one hour using a 50kW unit.
