- ***Since this was shot, Renault have released some updates on the figures quoted in this episode, most notably the range of this Renault ZOE Z.E50 is now confirmed at 245 miles WLTP standardised cycle ( ≈ 394 km) and the acceleration from 50 - 75 mph (or 80 - 120 km/h) is 7.1 seconds.
[This represents an increase of 31% in range from the previous 2nd generation model (Z.E 40) that had a range of 186 miles ( ≈ 300 km) WLTP.]***
The Renault ZOE has always been a favourite affordable EV of Fully Charged and we're not alone as apparently "cumulative sales" make it the most common EV in Europe.
It might not look it, but this 3rd generation model is the latest, fastest, most rangey Renault ZOE all-electric hatchback. Crucially more of a techlift than a facelift; a 52kWh battery pack replaced the 40kWh, bringing a WLTP calculated range of 245 miles ( ≈ 394 km) - a 31% increase in range for this new Renault EV.
No test drives have been made of the new Renault ZOE Z.E50 electric supermini yet, but Jonny Smith heads to Paris, France, in another 4k review for the Fully Charged Show to explore the vastly improved dashboard, connectivity, 50kW fast charge ability and minor exterior tweakage of this already impressive and relatively cheap electric car.
According to Renault:
"UK pricing and specification details will be out in the coming weeks".
"Fully Charged are driving the car on the International Press Launch at the end of October".
"New ZOE arrives in the UK showrooms from late Autumn".

fullychargedshow great Range for anyone this. Anything above 200 miles is more than enough for 90% of owners.
@@markgaudie80 Yes! The charging speed is a bit behind but this is not a car for very long road trips. 200-250miles with 100+kWh charging is enough. But people have to change their mindset about how they drive and to really think how they drive now.
@@mgammeren I agree, but 50 kW is much better than the current 22 kW as well as the option to use CCS chargers. - but yes it is "~1C" the first Zoe could charge at 43 kW on a 22 kWh battery "~2C"
@@Jakob_DK The 22 KWh is not "the current", that would be the 2012 Zoe, they already upgraded the engine and battery to 40 KWh a few years ago.
@@Groaznic Yes, i wrote "first Zoe" is 22 kW. I drive the Zoe R with 41 kWh battery and 22 kW type2 charging only. They do not sell the Zoe Q with 43 kw charging here in Denmark.
"Piston resistance wink wink".. You've been waiting to use that a long time! Nice one!
Wow with the right graphics that would make an awesome t-shirt. Sign me up!
Ah right! Silly me, makes sense now. I heard "Pissed on..." I must try and keep up :-)

I think that the T-shirt needs to emphasise electric drive more, but it's pretty good
yes, really nice!
Thanks for showing a normal car rather than a supercar .An EV with corrolla class spec AND price will be the real game changer to get the masses rather than just the executives electric -
Love the channel !
This is a new revision of an older car. The Zoe has been sold since 2012.
Do you mean the VW ID?that could be the game changer!
@@dano8799 No I think he meant the Zoe.
@@bangerbangerbro I know but I'm saying the ID will be more of a game changer than the Zoe or a corolla electric, especially with VWs investment in charging infrastructure.
@@dano8799 Yes I suppose.
More excited about this than the taycan
I don't blame you. Making cars that only cater to the super-rich is very disappointing indeed plus on a down-low I'm still holding on to my Porsche 911 Targa 4 dream.
Agree. Relatively affordable cars are far more significant than 100-200k EUR cars. Kudos for Nissan/Renault for starting with affordable EVs and pushing innovation through volume production.
The Germans are trying to start at the high end and hopefully work their way down to lower priced cars. However Tesla has already won that battle by moving from the Model S to Model 3 and having huge production volumes to drive costs down further, particularly battery costs. Tesla builds more Model 3s in one month than Porsche is planning (but not yet building) to build Taycans in a year.
Tesla has already outcompeted Porsche by offering similar performance as the Taycan at half the price with the Model 3 Performance. The standard range Model 3 costs about the same as a base BMW 3 series or a high spec new Nissan Leaf.
I'm gonna buy five zoes and weld them together to make a stretch limo ev Zoe for the price of a taycan!
@@toptobottom247 Porsche isn't really in the business of building people-movers. But it will be an important car in terms of turning heads from the petrol-head set. It will also be interesting to see how well a company like Porsche can handle coming into a space so-far dominated by Tesla. We need vehicles of every kind to make the transition!
Joseph W me too! Unfortunately I doubt that Renault will ever bring the Zoe to the USA so most likely I will end up buying the Taycan when it comes out. I wish there was something like an electric Miata...
Its remarquable that a 52kWh battery fits in the same design as the 22kWh. Progress on bat tech is improving like never seen before.
Yeah, it's great news but critically Renault have stomped down on battery upgrade schemes.
The 40 and 50kWh batteries are easily fitted in the older cars such as the ones with Continental and Renault 22kW motors.
Greatly looking forward to Renault changing their position on this and not offering lies such as "there was no interest" and "it's not possible".
People really underestimate how far things advance once you have consumer interest and investment. Now that EVs are coming in mass production the advancement for the next 10 years are going to be incredible.
If this is really about battery tech then the Model S would have 150 kWh by now. This just shows that Renaul/Nissan saved on costs for their original models.
@@GBOAC started with 60
@@bluebikerathar nope, they started in 2012 with *both* 60 *and* 85, the 60 simply had less cells in its pack. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Model_S#Battery " In 2012, the EPA range for the 60 kWh battery pack model was 208 mi (335 km)[100] and the 85 kWh battery was 265 miles (426 km).[101][102] According to Musk, the Model S has a battery with twice the energy density of that on the Nissan Leaf, but the difference in range is more than double. " So that only goes to show that Renault/Nissan started with lesser density cells, not that battery tech has advanced that much. Tesla already showed what was possible in 2012, and other brands catching up 8 years later is suddenly 'progress on bat tech' . Yeah right.
Thank you so much for letting myself be part of this awesome video.. It was great to sit an talk EV especially Zoe with like minded people. Always great to be able to pass my knowledge and info to others, The changes are very minor external as Jonny says but the tech is a great upgrade. Also full LED hadlighting system which is a huge welcome.

Thank you again to Jonny & the Fully Charged Team
GREAT video Craig proud to call you a best mate and fellow Zoe youtuber
@@NicolasRaimo thank you nic that means alot.
Aww I see more collabs in the future! Get JS to a club meet we can all go in convoy
Great that you were on it to add perspective. I love my Ze40 and it suits pretty much all of my needs (the extra range / fast charging / performance / interior and LED lights make the new model tempting though). What I'd really like is a convertible EV though.
Do you know if Renault has any plans to come to the US?
I live in France, and I see ZOE like everywhere!
This guy (Jonny) is a fantastic reviewer and it is always a pleasure to watch his reviews. He was great on fifth year, and he is great here. Plaudits and accolades to you buddy boy from America.
Renault would never be able to keep up with the demand if that bundle of cuteness was sold in America. They would have to open a factory in America. I'm a fan of the Celedone Blue.
Would be a huge hit in US cities with Smart leaving or going all electric!
Except the audience for that is nothing compared to the demand for 250+ mile range SUVs. Most Americans prefer big vehicles with lots of range so they don’t have to worry about blasting the AC and driving at high speeds on the highway for hours. And the main target audience for the Zoe (high density city dwellers with limited parking and short commutes) are more and more moving away from car ownership altogether, instead relying on lyft/uber with the occasional rental for longer drives, having their groceries delivered, ordering food delivery, doing their shopping on amazon, etc. This type of car is perfect for Europe but likely not worth the effort to bring a brand to market and deal with the costs of homologation, additional testing, having qualified service staff, etc. That alone would eat up all their profit margins. By the time they bring it over, it will cost way too close to a base Model 3.
I was surprise to see they don't have a factory in the USA, considering they have a few in the American continent.
@@nothingbutsorrow4507 Why would you have a factory in USA if you do not sell your product in USA?
Jakob Soland Engbæk Plus they would have to come up in safety regulations in North America and the USA!
This was really a good show. I think Renault has got the balance between digital and physical human machine interfaces just right. There are some things the driver should always have in front of themselves and some things which are better done with buttons because turns and roadbumps are a thing. And they seem to have done exactly that. No stupid power surge, no design experiments but instead a practical affordable evolution of what already was one of the most compelling EVs in its price range.
These videos are just getting better and better!! Can´t wait to have this new Zoe in Latin America
1:57 That's the biggest and boldest manufacturer emblem on any car ever. One day (if they don't go bankrupt) Renault will make a whole car in the shape of a rhombus just to make sure you get it.
So people will know it is a *100%* *Renault* *vehicle* ? :D
@@Siriuslichtblau xD
Compare to the huge kidney shape grid of the planned BMW electric car, I far prefer this look.
That’s a vulva
@@chewbster Correct, the vagina is only the internal part of the female sex organ.
Congratulations to fully charged to become the main presenter of new cars in the BEV range (at least in Europe)!
Great to be one of your patreons.
Well done on the Taycan review, its been long awaited. The Zoe is an amazing cute little car. The diamond shaped rear lights are very bonny.
"False floor", I work as an Architectural Technologist and those words bring back old construction site memories...
My god, i have to say this... I miss Robert. No issues with you Mr. Smith by the way, you are a sterling presenter. Hello from South Africa.
Not a quantum leap but “ever onwards” full electric is the only way, a superb video by the way
Excellent video! Well done Jonny & Craig and FC team... and Renault too I guess. 😂
Can we get some Fully Charged "piston résistance" t-shirts or sticker?
I rarely see any negative reviews, although I think there should be flaws in at least some of the electric cars. I appreciate your politeness (many ,,I really like"s and ,,it's quite interesting"s etc.), but I doubt that neutral reviews wouldn't find negative points.
Nonetheless you're one of my favourite (ev-)channels, so thank you once again for this good video!
Excellent video Johnny and commendations to your film crew really professional!
At last a straightforward review. Thanks for keeping it simple
fully charged ASMR version, nice
I already have Two ZE40's in Grey One only 6 months old and I couldn't love them more. But! the interior is such an improvement that I want it now!!! Shame but the only things I was hoping to see were 150kW CCS not just 50 and I suppose along side that, active battery cooling. But flipping heck, I can't wait to get one! Great video, really lovely to include Craig in it! Superb Job as always FC
The faster you charge, the sooner the battery ages. Charging fully the battery in 1 hour is not so bad actually
The cooling is active. Its just air cooled rather than liquid. I haven't had any issues in my first gen Zoe charging multiple times at 2C rate (43kW). The cooling can keep up with it.
@@briandowling8372 Well I killed my first ZE40 by charging it on 43kW multiple times on a big road trip and it had to be replaced (under warranty obviously) so it's not an impossibility
@@danielebasile3957 yes but also its veery rarely used but when you need it, you need it quick! So why not keep up with the ongoing trend
@@SmokyFrosty do you have any info regarding the used cells technology? Maybe they decided not too push for high C rated in order to be able to use not high end cell chemistry and then keep the costs lower. Just some thoughts
The quality of your videos is absolutely top notch and this one is no different.
Super excited and see my video was spot on with specs and info on car! can't wait for new zoe!
I'm not a fan of the look of this car but it's good to see manufactures make improvements on range, level of trim and equipment, tech and pricing.
Huge fan of fully charged and I'm looking forward to a video review of the mg zs ev as this looks like a car that could bring lots of people over to the world of electric cars with pricing that's more affordable for large majority of people. Keep up the great work you guys do.
It does look very feminine or metro, their focus groups must have approved!
@@NicholasLittlejohn Yeah it hits the target audience alright. Nice Tec tho
I agree, an important review which I am waiting for too!!!
Good comment. Agree with you. Not a fan of the look (look kind of cheap). But the improvements! Good car for more electric absorption...Good video!
I've never been a fan of the look of this car, or the name. It's a shame as the spec & cost is pretty good. At least the newer leafs updated the ungly/smooth/bulky look to a better more aggressive style. (I'm still not a fan though haha)
I am hard to please so I think my best bet is to do an EV conversion :)
Interesting to here about the MG ZS BTW, I will be looking into this more as my last 3 cars have been MG/Rover. I always expected when the Chinese SAIC Motor took over MG to offer EV's... The more car companies producing EV's the better! I need more choice! :)
Stylish and thoughtful interior, we like. Price point is a breath of garlic air.
Great video. The presentation of the interior of the car was almost AMSR chilling.
Great episode and fantastic interview with the one and only a Craig from RZOC :)
Thanks for showing the Zoe 2
Proud to be french :)
Twoplank Alex be proud anyway :-)
I hope they are not short?
The one thing I really like about the ZOE 50 is the 60/40 split rear seats!
Quite often, the whole rear bench either being up or down as a practical hamstring or let down for the car.
This was so informative as well as entertaining. Top marks for the presenting style
Love your channel guys, I look forward to each new video. I live vicariously through your vids until I can get an ev some day ✌️
Mr. Smith. That side entry seatback pocket on passenger side seat is Perfect for easy access for the driver. Want something stashed that won't wonder around cabin, stash it in seatback pocket.
*Beautiful and cheerful* car that will decorate the parking spaces and roads.
This car will help to clean up the air in the cities, we will all benefit from that.
The compact size, the price and the longer range will make it very popular.
Not a single mistake on this video. Superb! Hungry for more!
Jonny has a delivery and charisma that make it seem as though he's just a good friend casually dropping some knowledge on you. Getting him on the Fully Charged team was a great idea, especially as he and Robert work so well together in the podcasts. Faraday Past for the win!
This time he appeared especially well prepared, a pleasure to watch and listen to. And that music score, very tasteful, not chummily French style.
What a good looking cabin.
Massive improvement on the interior!
Do you own one? I'm curious how the battery behaves in a real finnish winter.
You really tell a story about the car. Sometimes your voice almost sounds like in a fairy tale. I love it 😄
Great Sound quality and good camera work, guys. Keep it up
Looks great! Only reservation is the carpet around the "gear knob"! Jonnys quietly confident, authoritive presentation is great!
I really don't know why but I'm really in love with this car 😍🤤
Me too, it's just a great car!
I've had my ZE40 for just under one year and I love it. There are some issues - the interior looks dated, the position of the cruise control/speed limiter switch and ECO mode switch is just batsh*t crazy, there are issues with the windscreen freezing if the air con temperature is set on low, the reflection of the dashboard onto the windscreen in bright sunlight is very distracting, etc... I'm glad some of these have been addressed - at least the interior looks a bit more modern now. No massive great big gear stick or handbrake anymore.
Adding 50kW CCS charging is also a big plus compared to my current 22kW max. That will make the longer journeys much more appealing - I've managed to go a whole year so far without needing to use a public charger, but it would be nice to have that option. If the range is reported as 242 miles, then it may be possible for a decent EV driver to get nearer to 260, so that's pretty good. The best I've done so far is about 205 miles.
Yeah, I'm sold. When it comes time to decide what to do with my current Zoe, I'm fairly likely to upgrade to a newer model now. Depending on cost, of course.
We are thinking about upgrading to this new model from the old model for these reasons. I love my current Zoe but this one is better on all fronts.
What a great car! I had the 1st gen Zoe for only 8 months and I love it. I miss it whenever I drive any other car...
Very professional and no negitve vibe just information I like this a lot
Beautifully put together video, including excellent sound, also Whimsical music in the background is terrific. Makes most American reviewers look and sound like a bunch of blithering idiots. As I said, Jonny is a pleasure to watch.
Jonny is awesome and he's not trying to imitate Clarkson either. Respect!
Most American reviewers are a bunch of blithering idiots.
Lazy Boy J, and Kryton...can't think of a better pair of car entusiasts to help promote the EV revolution !
Please continue the good work gentlemen, just about to pre-order a Honda E.
@@greengenie2427 There are a few that are excellent. I wouldn’t generalise too much. Clarkson, May & Hamster lead the pack for the most over the top time wasting auto-journalism to date Past their sell by date years ago.
@Richard Nedbalek grow up Jerky Boy.
Next time,a test drive please :) Is that a lane assist switch at the other side of the chargeport switch group?
Great video - excellent production as always. I favour the recycle material version, it looks cool :-)
American viewer here. Appreciate the videos even when they are on vehicles not sold in US.
Look forward to the next generation ZOE that has bidirectional charging. A BEV workhorse. Hope that the ZE50 is more sound proofed.
i am driving to a ZOE almost daily in Malta... as a member of the customer for the GoToMalta company that provides car shared services. even though they have the damn cars locked in "eco" mode and I can't test it true acceleration 100% or top speed (roads are sort anyways) i really like it. fast nimble...center of gravity could have been better though...and i hope the upgrade their fleet with the new ones
Johnnyxp64 try holding the eco mode button down and the two buttons on the stalk to check range etc. with the car on(in park) for about 10sec. Then turn car on and off.
@@bill9163 wow.. thanks.. i will!!
I'm looking at this and the specs going, this is nice. Unassuming. Nothing too exciting. Opens to show interior, holy crap that is awesome. I absolutely love that interior. It's so simple but such great textures. I could spend lots of time in there.
Great video as always, keep up the amazing work 👏🏻
Thank you for adding buttons and putting the spedo in front of the driver. The tesla model 3's "put everything on the tablet so you have to take your eyes off of what's in front of you" is idiotic and is a terrible trend.
Wow, it would be great to see this vehicle in Canada. Some of the interior appointments remind me of my 2019 eGolf. :)
I'd see if they're taking franchise dealers, agreed.
Looks like this will be a massive hit too just like the previous 2 models. Well done Renault. Big thank you to the Fully Charged team and always nice to see Craig as well. Looking forward to EV’s In The Park now on Saturday August 24th. Anyone who has not already booked on needs to get their free tickets ASAP. Loads to do for the family and should be a bloody brilliant day for everyone. Some lovely cake too I believe. YESSSS!!!
#EVITP
I'm a member of E-Car, and have been driving their Zoe since 2017. Have driven both mk1 & mk2 versions, so i'm absolutely salivating over the ZE.50, mainly because i'm hoping to purchase one! I don't actually own a car since I moved back from the USA in 2016, plus Watford council won't allow me a parking space, hence me joining E-Car! E-Car and the Zoe have helped me out enormously, and I have to say, have done the job of making me decide to no longer own ICE vehicles. I just love the Zoe, and now with this new version, I know what my next car will be.
Thanks to Jonny and the Fully Charged team for another great insightful video!
ZOE was our stepping stone to e-mobility in 2017 as well. We love it.
I love my 22kWh Zoe from 2014 but i like to have that new Interior and the CCS Port. :D
Good thing that the 22kW AC is still Standard. :)
Really want to see this car in Canada!
Great in-depth review! Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to swap out my 2018 Zoe for one of these!
Spectacular overview as usual!
Just georgeous
thats my name!! its gorgeous
Playing the SEO game hard with that title XD
Great review 'As Usual' infact you have made our mind for us,and this little stylish bad boy will be in our drive very soon...Thank You...All The Best.
Thanks for the showing, it's a nice practical EV, I hope manufacturers make more of these.
236 miles is great. The added range makes it less of a worry in the winter with the heat on.
This should be a great seller. Longer range and faster charging makes EV's even more desirable.
No emissions, no noise. better technology. Gas and diesel ICE vehicles are OLD polluting technology.
When the Iphone came out no one wanted a flip phone any more. Soon as more EV's are available people will no longer want OLD ICE gas and diesel technology that they are stuck with for 7 or more years.

more electric motorbikes/scooters/cargo trikes please, because I couldn't afford that car, and i've only a 1kw pv, as off grid
Ive got 1.6kw of PV at my shack and I can charge my Mitsubishi Minicab Miev 16kw van there but it only will charge at 6amps 230v without drawing too much from the 16kw battery bank.
TRY A RAD POWER BIKE...1495$ TO YOUR DOOR.
In case you are wondering. - Yes you can fit a washing mashine in the back of a Zoe. You need to tilt the seat back and the washing mashine a bit, but yes it does fit with the rear closed.
If only it had a tow bar.
Merci Beaucoup Renault! I am so happy this fun little car will not only continue to be on the roads of Europe, especially in it's home country, but that it will help get more people who need a urban vehicle drive electric. Viva la resistance!
What will the range be at highway speeds of 120kph? Not 394km, surely... I do my daily commute in the city, but I also do a ~320km highway stint once a week. I can't stop to recharge the car, it would not be practical at all.
Commute with e-bike and consider a 30 min charging break during your highway trip. You will find both refreshing.
This won't do 320km at highway speeds... 270km-280km if you're lucky. These things are cool for city traffic but still impractical if you do any kind of highway. The ID3, altough sligthly more expensive, will do up to 550km - that's probably the first small(ish) BEV where you won't have to work around the handicap of a small range.
@@achenarmyst2156 In that case you're at the service of the technology - it should be the other way round.
Estimated highway range 225 (winter) - 295 (mild) km
Wish they'd come to the USA.. :( I say this a lot lately.
I wish US had not left the Paris climate agreement.
Great stuff mate, I’d seriously consider this car for all that it portents to be, it’s well thought out and not priced beyond the realm of most. I’ve been a Mini driver for years and am looking to take the family all electric so it looks like Renault is the top of my list now.
"Rouge Flamme" I do like that colour!!! Glad they've kept the slightly quirky looks. Front is starting to look a tiny bit swollen/bulbous compared to the old one, but I still like it. Its the only car I would look at, if I needed a car.
Fab production on the video as usual, well done fully charged show.
i wish with thatt bigger screen they had done what Polestar have done and make it native android Auto,. but either way, i love this thing.
Domenico Lamberti Renault and Nissan will have native Android OS running the infotainment system in 2021
Looks pretty good though I think it does look a little more aggressive. The material of the seats is interesting with the recycled stuff. I was expecting more than 50KW DC charging though to be honest. However, the car seems to have a lot of interesting interior features like the more Tesla-esque infotainment interface touch-screen and the inductive mobile phone charging. The route planning and car preheating are good up-to-date ideas though when Tesla fans have talked about things like that before I have never thought much of them. Overall I think it's pretty good and it has a few more of the things people like Teslas for, which makes it a little more desirable for me and definitely for a lot of other people, even if they are not essential features.
I wonder when they will reveal the electric Dacias? They are usually based on previous-generation Renault's so will they be revealed soon now that the first real generational change in the Zoe has come?
as always, awesome job fully charged!!!
Nice, I like the developments there, even though Ghosn is gone. I have driven a Zoe several times and look forward to this, as it really seems to have potential, especially with the enhanced range.
Cest magnifique Johnny
Small affordable EVs with over 200 miles range? More pleases manufacturers. Tesla and others are still looking at big cars and SUVs - give ma an EV power hatch that looks great and can stand up to an Ikea run and then you might get my money. Even the model 3 is too big for London (I saw my first one in the wild at the weekend).
French car maker are specialized in small affordable cars for everybody. You may want to keep an eye on the Peugeot e208 as it is certainly the first classic Peugeot to be available full electric but we can expect very soon to see an e108, e308, e408 e508 and hopefully e2008, e3008 and e5008 :)
Peugeot have indeed announced an e2008.
I love the content! Keep them coming!
Nice footage of an electric, shared-ride mobility solution at the very start of the video.
Ranault have sensibly kept some knobs and buttons around. Needing the touchscreen for every function isn’t a nice car driving experience.
I do so wish this was available in the US. oh well.
They may be looking for franchise dealers.
It’s smaller than the Nissan Leaf, I don’t think too many Americans would buy it outside the big cities
I guess Americans like their Trucks and SUVs .
@@raulgarijocabanillas7836
Lots of cars sold in the cities!
Actually, GM should sell it under license!?
This car is a beauty. Feels so nice from the inside.
I love the new beefy looking design including do including those creases near the vents
While I actually prefer the current ZE40 face, this ZE50 ZOE looks outstanding, especially the interior and dashboard design.
With the longer range, this car could beat VW with its ID.3 before that car is even available.
Seems like Renault once again created the go-to EV in Europe.
Not sure about that. The ID.3 will have more, longer range options. And it is in a different class. It’s more like a competitor to their own Golf, while the Zoe is more like a Twingo.
@@MacXpert74
I generally agree. Although I rather meant the state of acceptance. You might be wrong with one thing though.
ZOE is definitely not like a Twingo.
The Twingo is within the (e-)Up!, Aygo (my current car), Citigo, i10 class, all around 3.6m long.
The ZOE is the Kleinwagen / Super Mini / City car class, since it is almost 4.1m long.
That makes it a competitor to Yaris, Polo, Clio and alike. The ID.3 is going to be about 4.25m long, so it is somewhere in between the ZOE and the (small) Golf category.
@AriesT I didn't look up the numbers. I was going by the looks. But the Zoe is a bit bigger than I thought then. Still, I think there is a bit of a different market for ID.3. I think it will have some more high-end features and will have more range. It will be a more premium vehicle. For how popular it will become, price will also play a role of course. We will see!
Grrrrrrr... I want one in the US. In that Celadon Blue
Good job Jonny and FC as ever
Wish we could see this in the US. One thing always to note about ev’s is the real world battery stats. For the Zoe 80-90 in summer and 50-60 in the winter. Always a kick in the crotch here in the Midwest where we see both extremes. That’s a huge difference from the posted 245 mile range. Loved this video. Well done!
Audi with their ‘i- cockpit’? Don’t you mean Peugeot?
I really like this car although the bezel on that middle screen IS HUGE!!
Yes it's a deal breaker
Yup. It's so ugly. Looks like Renault is trying too hard to appear not to copy Tesla
Phones, tv companies let get rid of bezels
Car companies: Let stick huge bezels on our screen, the bigger the better!
@@DavidKnowles0 legit!!!
Looks Great Jonny and the upgrades are an improvement to be sure, but can you adjust the drivers seat height now????
I am unfortunately not in the market for any new electronic wizardry, however I do enjoy watching your videos because they are well produced.

Bob's successor. Niiice.
He should play the "old grey" in the background :)

Did Faraday Past ever play OGWT?
Bob rules OK.
Hey, isn't the Eurostar an EV? (snerk)
Never been a great fan of french cars. Especially the abundance of plushy seats, wobbly suspension and beige interiors. I have to say this is really a well-balanced, modern design. Chapeau!
A very well put car. Renault has made some inspired car designs recently like the Renault Triber in India. Would love to see this on Indian roads soon.
Great review 👍
Only 50 kW DC? Wow, since 2013. But inside looks so much much better.
It could be faster, but it works out to not much more than an hour to fully charge. 20% - 80% should be really quick
@@Dinty51 yes but 70-75 kW like an old Ioniq was fine.
The hardware likely costs a little more to charge faster so they figure most people charge overnight at home.
The faster you charge, the sooner the battery ages... It gets hotter as well, which leads to faster ageing... It is not a liquid cooled battery. Price/performance ratio
Don't forget, Zoe has 22AC...which is way better than 7 (competitors)
Nice (and Hi Craig, nice to see you on there!) - but 50kw CCS - aargh! Come on - that needs to be 100kw nowadays. Also I would like to see this as a Dacia clone, maybe different body panels but lower cost as Dacia are so good at. See you at EVs in the Park!
Hi :)
75kW is a pretty safe bet in my own eyes.
kWh, not kW
@@danielebasile3957 we all know what we are talking about so it's all good. Hope you enjoyed the video.
Of course you know Renault Zoe, my small correction was for the other 2 comments
Very good professional calming quality review. ✌
Luv you guys. Luv the work you do. Tks. 🙋
