ZOE, Renault’s latest pure electric vehicle, has an advanced drivetrain and a powerful battery pack. It has a highly efficient regenerative braking system and clever heat pump which minimises energy losses. All help to give ZOE an outstanding real world range of between 100-150kms and a homologated range of 210kms.
