ZOE named Best Used Electric Car by Diesel Car and Eco Car Magazine

Renault’s 100 per cent electric ZOE has been named the Best Used Electric Car by Diesel Car and Eco Car Magazine.

The ZOE now provides range of up to 250 miles (NEDC) – the longest of any mainstream electric vehicle

The Renault ZOE was recognised by Diesel Car and Eco Car for its good looks, relaxed driving style and affordability.

Since launching in the UK in 2013, Renault has almost doubled the ZOE’s range from 130 miles (NEDC) to 250 miles (NEDC) thanks to technological advancements such as an increased battery capacity and an uprated motor.

Ian Robertson, editor and publisher, Diesel Car and Eco Car said: “While the LEAF’s looks are polarising, the handsome ZOE has no such trouble, but being based on the Clio, it’s quite a bit smaller. Still, this fits its urban runabout brief to perfection, and we can think of few better cars for whizzing around local roads.

“You’ll be doing so in near silence and with no tailpipe emissions to worry about, and benefits include no road tax or London Congestion Charge payments. You’ll need to check if batteries are included though, as some ZOEs have been bought on a battery rental package, which costs from £49 per month.”
