I went yesterday to a Renault dealership and I checked the ZOE. The fact's are the following:
- The car end price with gov. support is 15 500€ (ZEN version)
- The monthly battery rent fee is 79€ for the first 3 year, then 10€/month.
- The battery has an endless warranty. As the dealer sad: If we start to comply for the capacity they change it for free.
- The chameleon charger can support any outdoor charger type (here in France)
- But (and here comes the problem), for the home charging you need to ask an installation for a special charger box to your home (it cost 400-800€)
- And the car is not chargeable by any kind of normal home 220V EU standard outlet (!!!)
Otherwise the car is amazing, its cheap, but the quality is okay, the onboard entertainment system is awesome
you can navigate for hour's between the menus
But the missing regular charger is a huge problem for me. For example: If I would like to go to my parents house for a visit(what is in a small town, and the is no any outdoor pay station charger), its around 65km-s, what is OK if I can charge the car there during the lunch or something. But without the charging opportunity, I cannot risk to go, for example during the summer in the 30c...
So the ZOE is a big question for me now: Should I by a LEAF for around 6K€ more or risk with the ZOE and wait for the normal charger...
