Unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, the new Renault ZOE 2013 will go on sale autumn 2012. Its launch marks the beginning of a new era: an era of electric vehicles for all.The kinetic energy produced under deceleration and braking is recovered by the motor so that it can be converted into electricity to charge the battery.
Renault ZOE Interior and Exterior. Designed as a pure-electric car from the ground up, ZOE is a compact hatchback with sleek, fluid lines. Its agile, dynamic looks express driving enjoyment, while its signature headlights feature LEDs that permanently light up recesses situated either side of the front air intake. Like Twingo and Twizy, ZOE features the Renault brand’s new design identity.
Renault ZOE Engines and Transmissions. In terms of autonomy, Renault has developed the ‘Range OptimiZEr’, that combines three major innovations (new-generation regenerative braking, a heat pump and MICHELIN EnergyTM E-V tyres). In the NEDC cycle, ZOE is homologated with a range of 210km. In real conditions, for example, in suburban use, the owner will generally achieve around 100km in cold weather and 150km in temperate conditions.
Renault ZOE is the only electric vehicle to feature the Caméléon charger. Patented by Renault, this charger is compatible with all power levels up to 43kW. Charging batteries at a charging station can take between 30 minutes and nine hours. For example, ZOE can be charged in an hour at 22kW. This intermediate power level extends battery life and puts less pressure on the power grid than the fast-charging of batteries at 43kW.
