Renault ZOE almost live from Boulogne - Video & Pics
On my way back from work, I rode my Vectrix an extra 3 kilometers to reach the Renault test track on Ile Seguin where I could take pictures and videos of the ZOE :-)
Make sure you watch this video full screen in 720p HD format to catch the details since I am a bit far from the test track
Also wait until the end: There is a Surprise ...

First one I crossed on the new bridge
from the bridge, the ZE (Zero Emission) test track on the island "Ile Seguin"
Who is this ? ah yes, the camera man
from my Vectrix
People came out of the presentation building and are now splitting into small groups to test drive ZOE
The black ZOE is backing up
La Seine
The white ZOE that came out of the test track is now parked in front of the EV Center, at the bottom of the new bridge
Test drive is over now, time to head back home for some diner; my wife must be wondering where I am :-)
Wait there is more below ... More pictures from the video

Renault ZOE Test Drive - My Video !
This is the 4th video featuring the real (not concept car) Renault ZOE, after the two BFMTV videos, a very short one just before the 2012 Paris Motor Show , the second one with French Industry Minister Arnaud Montebourg, and AutoMoto test the last week.
This Fully Electric ZOE is going to be a Hit, there is
Mon Essai Renault Zoé :-)
This Fully Electric ZOE is going to be a Hit, there is
no doubt about it !
Why ? => Small Price, Beautiful Design, & Performance
This morning I had the chance to test drive the Renault ZOE at the Renault EV Center and test track on Ile Seguin, in Boulogne Billancourt, next to Paris
I would like to thank the whole team there for the warm welcome and kindness to let us test drive at the last minute without any appointment; It was very nice from them :-)
ZOE sunny line up
The beautiful rear end
It all started with this: The ZOE test drive badge
Then an interesting 20 minutes ZOE presentation,
with a coffee (LED ligthting in the room)
Then came the test drive with the person who did the presentation
and he knew what he was talking about (it is not always the case
when it comes to Electric Drive)

Our co-test drivers, a father and his son, like us, were very impressed
with ZOE's acceleration (again with 5 people in the car)
with ZOE's acceleration (again with 5 people in the car)
The overall impression after few minutes of test drive is very good: Acceleration feels very similar to my Nissan LEAF, although we were five in the car (4 adults and my son) and the motor is theoretically less powerful, I did not feel any difference
Even with this top of the line version of ZOE (Intens at 15.500 EUR with incentive), the confort is a bit different from the LEAF, but for that price, it can not be beaten I think; Congratulations to Renault for offering such a well designed Fully Electric Car with that small price tag !
My son wanted to drive ... maybe in few years I said
This picture made me think of this slogan:
ZOE : An affordable Electric Car for the Future Generation, Available Now !
ZOE and Meudon hill in the back, beautiful ... (click to see a better quality picture)
The charging equipement installed is from Schneider Electrics, 3kW and 22 kW AC charge stations
Schneider Electrics power supply central equipement for charging stations
Display close up (sorry for the sun reflection, that is the best I could do)
Charge stations, supplying 3kW , or 22 kW for faster charging of the ZOE 22kWh battery in just 1 hour ! ... 43 kW charging will be also be possible thanks to Three Phases AC 400V supply
... through the (French only) Type 3 outlet (should change later on to Type 2
to become compatible with other European countries)
Pretty cool charge station, showing outlet status and state of charge also !
Nice, very nice test center on this island "Ile Seguin",
where used to be Renault's main factory for decades
Now, more about charging :
