The Renault Zoë has been available since 2016 with larger battery packs and improved technology, making it one of the most popular compact electric cars on the market. You'll find two main variants: a 41 kWh version (Zoë ZE40) with a realistic range of around 250-300 kilometers, and from 2019 a 52 kWh version (Zoë ZE50), which achieves 300-350 kilometers in practice. Most of the models used have the medium or large battery pack.

With the Zoë, pay close attention to the charging capacity and battery structure: the ZE40 has standard 22 kW AC charging, and some versions (Q90/R110) can also fast charge up to 43 or 50 kW DC. The ZE50 is often equipped with CCS fast charging, but note that this is optional, not standard. It is also important to check whether you are dealing with a purchased battery pack or a lease, especially with older models.

The Zoe is surprisingly fully equipped for its size, including climate control, reversing camera, keyless entry and a user-friendly multimedia system. The interior offers plenty of room for daily use, with a decent seating position, five doors and a reasonably spacious trunk for its class.

The Renault Zoë is one of the most popular compact EVs of recent years. It scores high on affordability, ease of use and surprisingly long range for its size. Its design is recognizable and playful, and thanks to multiple battery packs, you can choose a version that suits your driving habits. From our experience, the Zoe's battery performs remarkably well, even at higher mileage. An ZE40 or ZE50 with more than 120,000 kilometers often still retains an SoH of well over 85%.

At Eccasion, we pay close attention to battery specifications, payload and maintenance history. That way you know exactly what you're getting. Thanks to its compact size, smart charging infrastructure (up to 22 kW AC) and practical interior space, the Zoë is a smart choice for daily use in and out of town.
