It’s been a typical complaint of the modern electric car that – from the perspective of asking price – most are simply too expensive to make sense. As one of the leaders in the electric-mobility revolution, Renault has sought to challenge that notion with the new Zoe.
Almost exactly the same size as the firm’s class-leading Clio supermini, the Zoe is a 5-door, 80-mile range battery-powered car which asks few compromises of its owner.
The boot is large, square and comparable with the Clio. The centre stack, screen and main controls are the same as Nicole and Papa’s car too.
