Fully Charged recently had the opportunity to test the new generation Renault ZOE with the battery of 52 kWh in a special demonstration event for the media in Sardinia. According to Robert Llewellyn, the new ZOE now has enough range – up to 390 km. WLTP – for a small city car like ZOE. Another great thing related to the mileage range is the ability to charge 22kW (three-phase), which gives much more than 100 km per hour of charging. Watch below the test of Renault's new electric supermini ZOE 2.




Description from YouTube channel fullychargedshow :

Robert was very impressed by his first long drive in the new Renault Zoe. With a 52kWh battery pack and a range well over 240 miles on a charge, this is a perfect example of how electric cars are developing. So not only greatly increased range, but the general usability of the car thanks to a vastly improved interior makes the New Renault Zoe a very attractive proposition.

Renault has a long tradition in mini hot hatch types of vehicles with the 5 Turbo and Clio V6. Zoe e-Sport was an idea built to show us that sports electric cars can be fun. According to Renault electric vehicle head, Gilles Normand Zoe e-Sport is not a finished case.

"The e-Sport was more to see the reactions of the world, and to show that electric is not boring," he told on Top Gear at the Frankfurt Motor Show. "It was a communication tool that achieved its purpose. The reaction was too strong. People said to me, are we interested, can you made something like this? "


And continues... "We are always working with Renault Sport associated with the Formula 1 team having access to all technologies. Renault Sport represents the ultimate performance car so the issue now is how to offer something like this in conjunction with electric drive, taking into account the battery technology. We are working on the next generation of batteries, solid-state that can give us many answers to many questions we have about high-performance cars. Especially when it comes to reliability at an affordable price.  ".


But it is more than a sense of hope. And as Renault Sport's stakeholders said that the Trophy R arrived so early in the Megane's current shopping lifecycle, so it could start before the emissions regulations become increasingly stringent, electromobility can reach In hot hatch earlier than we thought.
