Renault ZOE 220V EVSE announced at the Franckfurt Auto Show

Renault has announced - finally - a way to charge their ZOE on any 220V power outlet, but only starting in 2014



Strange thing, according to this Renault representative interviewed by Yoann Nussbaumer from Automobile-Propre.fr, there will be no Chameleon Charger upgrade necessary ... meaning nothing new about the efficiency at low amperage - should be around 8A like all other portable EVSE sold now -

Wait and see ...

Renault ZOE Test Drive: 250 km in one day

Yoann Nussbaumer from Automobile-Propre.com test drove the Zoé this week end and did some accelerated charging between two feeway trips between Mulhouse and Strasbourg, in the Est of France, and even got to charge in Germany just acrosss the border



This is the first long test of Zoé (after my short one at Renault ZE Center) by a person who knows and has electric vehicle - Yoann has a LEAF, like me since 2011, and tested many EVs -, and this makes a huge difference ! We see and hear too many bad things about auto journalists who can only critize EVs, and it is just a shame ...

Accelerated 22kW charge in Strasbourg on new public charging stations: 22kWh battery pack of the Zoe is full in 1 hour ...

140km/h is the limited speed for Zoe
