Used Renault Zoe cars for sale

The Zoe arrived in the UK in 2013 as one of the first full production electric cars on the market. Renault had created a normal-looking modern five-door supermini hatchback that runs entirely on battery power.

This exciting breakthrough vehicle uses a lithium-ion battery pack to drive the 65 kw electric motor. This gives the Zoe a range of up to 120 miles between charges. Top speed is 84mph and recharging takes up to nine hours.

Away from the emission-free and forecourt-free experience of owning a Zoe, the car itself is rather good. It's certainly safe: it scored the maximum five stars in the Euro NCAP tests and the car is very popular among urban families in many European cities.

The Zoe has been priced to be as affordable as a normal car. The underpinnings come from a Renault Clio and the battery sits under the back seat, where the fuel tank would normally be.

It's a nippy, spacious and well-equipped supermini. Of course it's very quiet and smooth, thanks to the electric motor. Even the most basic models get voice-controlled sat-nav, climate control and keycard entry. High spec cars get parking cameras and auto lights and wipers.
