I will lok at it on friday and then decide which edition I will reserve! Great looking car!

Confirmation this evening that the Zoe has 43 kW three phase charging too.

This is a game changer - the Model T of EVs.

In terms of price & range, how does this compare to Leaf ?

 

[dpeilow]

130 miles range

£13650 on the road, with £59 monthly battery lease.

LEAF is £25k here, with 109 miles range on the same test. So even 10 years of battery lease comfortably beats the LEAF price and you get the latest batteries.

... and you get the latest batteries.

I wonder if that is just talk from Renault or whether they will actually stand behind what they say and make available newer higher capacity batteries as and when the technology becomes available at this price level....

Absolutely! I need one! We just have to decide which edition.

and with 3 Phase Charging Stations costing less than £500 (GBP) we can have 'fast' charging everywhere in Europe :biggrin:

Wow what a price, that's incredible, that should finally get some numbers on the road. But if the Leaf scored 109 it must be a very generous test, everywhere I've read that 109 translates to real-world 70, so the zoe will realistically get what... 90-100? That's just a shade short for me, unless there are 43kw charging posts all over the place. I guess the old fiesta has a bit further to go yet :crying:

Zoe has heat pump, 1 kW.

Leaf resistences, 6 kW.

I have to say I think Zoe is really, really impressive. And Renault seems to have understood 100% what's important.

Let's see... 43 kW onboard charger, powerful motor, looks attractive, heat pump, very good range, incredible price. Thumbs up! Hope they make a Sport version :biggrin:

and i have to upgrade my socket from 32A to 63A. Stop! for overnight charge, i only need 16A single-phase but on long distance, charging ist done within 30 min, faster then Model S quick charge which needs 45min

Yes - in terms of US EPA rating, Leaf has 73 miles. Looks like Zoe has about 20% more - or about 90 miles total. My guess is the battery is little bigger (capacity, if not weight) - since reduced weight of the car & heat pump will not save that much energy.

 

[Eberhard]

the ZOE comes with a 22kW battery. realistic range is 150km.

Is this 22kW official from Renault?

That's not really a fair comparison; the Tesla Supercharge will add more miles-per-minute than the Renault solution.

That said, on a car at this price point, it's a really impressive package.
