The Renault Zoe is the company's next battery-powered electric car, and to our minds, it's the most important yet.
You see, while the Fluence ZE (small saloon), Kangoo ZE (van) and Twizy (commuter quadricycle) use interesting technology, the vehicles themselves are actually of very little interest to the average driver.
The Zoe is different. Yes, it looks funky and futuristic, and yes, it uses an alternative source of propulsion, but at its heart, the Zoe is a conventional five-door supermini. That means it's the one member of Renault's all-electric family that'll hold some real appeal for car buyers, and as a result, it's the one that could sell in significant numbers.
