Ollie's Autozone looks at the all new "Electric Renault Zoe."

In this first edition of Ollie's Autozone we are going to take a look at the new "Renault Zoe Electric" now available from H&H Motors Waterford. If you've been weighing up the benefits of electric driving then the Renault Zoe offers an interesting alternative.It looks pretty eye-catching with both a modern and dynamic design. Inside much better trim levels than its predecessor with all new infotainment screens be it Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and an improved 10 inch customisable driver display.

For a super-mini category car it has decent interior headroom and space.Rear seats now have a 60/40 split which its predecessor didn't have with still enough space for the weekly shop.

The big question anyone asks in buying an electric car is the range question,range anxiety as its termed is rightly an important question and in real world tests the Renault Zoe does really well with an average of close on 200 miles,rapid charging (50 kW) will see a 0-80% top up in about 42 minutes,Public station (22 kW): 120 km of driving range in about 1 hour,home charging (7.4 kW) takes about 7 and a half hours 0-100%.Every new Renault has a 5 year warranty,the battery is covered by a separate 8 year warranty.

For the gadget lovers among us enjoy many connected services on board ZOE from your EASY LINK multimedia system or remotely with the MY Renault mobile app.
