Renault hands over its 100,000th electric vehicle

Renault has handed over the key to its 100,000th electric vehicle (EV), five years since the launch of its first EV.

The all-electric Zoe was sold to 41 year old Norwegian Mr. Åsmund Gillebo, who has been presented with five years of Fortim recharging and 100,000 minutes of recharging time from Grønn kontakt, two local energy suppliers, to celebrate the occasion.

Renault is currently the European leader for EVs, with a 27 per cent market share. The first half of 2016 saw the manufacturer sell more than 15,000 electric vehicles (including the Twizy), which represents an increase of 32 per cent compared to the previous year.

Eric Feunteun, director of Renault’s electric vehicle division, said: “Every year there are more customers for electric cars and Renault is making a major contribution to this with its constant innovation and dedication to developing infrastructure. Our customer satisfaction, which stands at 98 per cent for the ZOE, encourages us to keep pushing onwards”.
