EV Channels Review

The Fully Charged team delivers an in-depth road test of the 2019 Renault Zoe in Sardinia, highlighting its significant advancements over previous generations. The reviewer is particularly impressed with the increased range, now exceeding 240 miles thanks to a 52kWh battery, a substantial leap from earlier models. The interior transformation is noted as a major improvement, featuring a large touchscreen and extensive use of recycled materials, enhancing both usability and sustainability. While acceleration isn't described as breathtaking, the car's comfortable ride, efficient energy consumption (around 4.8 miles/kWh in mixed terrain), and the flexibility of charging options, including 22kW AC, are praised. The reviewer also touches upon the battery leasing option as a viable way to make the EV more affordable. Overall, the 2019 Zoe is presented as a highly attractive, practical, and well-developed electric car, benefiting from Renault's decade of experience in the EV market.
