Zero-emission electric car: 120 kilometers of range in half an hour of charging

ZERO-EMISSION ELECTRIC CARS

The fight for a more sustainable and less polluted world, in addition to the policies of individual states, also passes through our daily choices. Indeed, especially for the small decisions we make every day. One of these is undoubtedly the mobility sectors: using public transport or a bicycle instead of your own car contributes, even if only in a small way, to the reduction of pollution levels, greenhouse gases and fine dust. Objectives that can be achieved without giving up four wheels, but opting for electric cars. Furthermore, as in the case of ZOE, the 100% electric sedan of Renault, you can also lend a hand to the environment and at the same time enjoy performance on par with petrol cars.

RENAULT ZOE

The ecological vocation of this car is evident from its name, which in Greek means life, the life that only responsible behavior against waste and smog can ensure for future generations. But ZOE is also the acronym for Zero emissions: that is, zero pollution. And thanks to this feature, the car designed Renault has free access to the ZTLs, can park for free on the blue lines, eliminates noise pollution and offers the guarantee of a versatile guide.

ELECTRIC CAR PERFORMANCE

To ensure performance on par with fuel-powered cars, ZOE has been equipped with the new 80kW R110 electric motor, which has boosted the previous one,Making driving even more enjoyable. "Thanks to this increased power, ZOE gains exhilaration and versatility for extra-urban use. The driver fully benefits from the driving pleasure and ZOE's range, the highest in the mass-market electric vehicle market," comments Elisabeth Delval, Deputy Program Director for Renault ZOE. This difference is particularly tangible on extra-urban roads: greater acceleration allows ZOE to gain approximately 2 seconds in the acceleration from 80 to 120 km/h. But beyond power also comfortThis car has been made even easier by the automatic transmission, which reduces stress levels and allows for a relaxed drive. These are all features that many drivers in Europe have already appreciated. ZOE, in fact, is the best-selling electric vehicle in the Old Continent and, in France in 2017, it recorded a 44% increase in sales compared to the previous year.

ENERGY RECOVERY

This Renault car, moreover, can be recharge easily (you can visualize the connection of the charging cable to the column and the car and the opening of the front door) and fast: in just half an hour, you can recover up to 120 km of real-world range. Finally, ZOE is also able to recover energy when descending hills and braking, a factor that contributes to its 300 km range in real-world conditions.

ALL THE ADVANTAGES OF ELECTRICITY

Electric cars: reaching 20 percent would be enough to halve urban pollution. Renault's commitment

Norway is the world's leading country for electric cars, accounting for 40 percent of all registrations.
