Some Zoe'owners are installing a 7kW WallBox, at home, around 700$. 1 hour of recharge allows to get 25 miles of autonomy. It is a very interesting compromise. NB: 700$ is cheap because zoe DOESN'T have the possibility to be recharge by a EVSE cable, so owners are obliged to buy a specific box...

Bad news.... Not possible to charge Zoe at home without specific box... No EVSE cable available....

Indeed, it is 12500km for 79€, if we rent at least during 36 monthes.

Renault Zoe is the "mondial de l'automobile" in Paris. And it is now possible for French customer to book it. Price from 13700€ (17800$) (including government discount) and 79€ (100$) per month to rent the 23kWh battery (7800 miles a year). Probably not a lot of deliveries before January 2013...

Just for Fun (but it is a true story), I have EV statistics of another "country". In Vatican, Pope Benedict the XVIth just received 2 Renault EV:

Question to users: Okay, you lost 2 bars, but, have you really observed a loss of autonomy? If yes, how much?

Interesting, but it is an "old" link (3 years ago). Do we know if Nissan is still interested in using this technology?

Most of them are "Bollore Bluecar": a selfservice electric car in Paris, using Bollore Battery (30-kWh Lithium Metal Polymer battery). Yes, concerning Peugeot Ion and Citroen Czero

In France, Renault Zoe will need only a AC Quick Charger, because the Zoe's engine will convert AC current into DC current. So, the price will be around $3,000 :P

Bad news concerning the Nissan Leaf. Renault Zoe will receive "LG" (south korea) battery, and not NEC/Nissan's one. Probably because the Nissan's one is not reliable with a lot of high-speed charges. Indeed, in Europe, KangooZE and FluenceZE have Nissan battery, but can't be charged quickly...
