Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)

Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Renault Zoe R240. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)
Charging Point Max. Power Power Time Rate
Wall Plug (2.3 kW) 230V / 1x10A 2.3 kW 12 hours 8 mph
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW) 230V / 1x16A 3.7 kW 7h30m 12 mph
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW) 230V / 1x32A 7.4 kW 3h45m 24 mph
3-phase 16A (11 kW) 400V / 3x16A 11 kW 2h30m 36 mph
3-phase 32A (22 kW) 400V / 3x32A 22 kW † 1h15m 72 mph

† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.

Long Distance Suitability

How suitable an electric car is for long trips depends not only on the range. How quickly the car can charge plays an almost equally important role. Whether an EV is suitable for long trips depends on the battery capacity, efficiency, and fast charging capability.

To easily compare cars among each other, a benchmark has been established that combines these factors into the total distance a vehicle can cover with one 15-minute charging stop: the '1-Stop Range'. Based on the 1-Stop Range, the 5-star rating is determined. The result of the benchmark is shown in the graph below.

All about the Renault Zoe R240

No longer available

This electric vehicle is no longer in production and not available to buy new. The Renault Zoe R240 was available from June 2015 until January 2017. Financial data like price, leasing and company car tax were applicable to the final year of availability of the Renault Zoe R240.

A new model of the Renault Zoe R240 (2015) is available: Renault Zoe R90 ZE40 (2017).

Pricing

The Renault Zoe R240 had an On The Road Price (OTR) of £23,445. The OTR Price includes VAT, first year of VED, vehicle first registration fee, number plates and delivery. The Renault Zoe R240 was eligible for a Plug-In Car Grant (PICG) of £4,500. The OTR Price including the PICG for the Renault Zoe R240 is £18,945.

Drivetrain and Performance

The Renault Zoe R240 is a full electric vehicle (BEV). The maximum power of the Renault Zoe R240 is 65 kW (87 hp). The maximum torque is 162 lb-ft. The Renault Zoe R240 is front wheel drive and can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 13.5 seconds. The top speed is 84 mph.

Battery and Charging

The battery of the Renault Zoe R240 has a total capacity of 25.9 kWh. The usable capacity is 23.3 kWh. An estimated range of about 90 miles is achievable on a fully charged battery. The actual range will however depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style.

For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in a range of around 60 mi. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the range to around 135 mi.

Charging is done using a Type 2 connector and the on-board charger has a maximum power of 22 kW. This charges a fully depleted battery back to full in around 1 hour 15 minutes. However, a 3-phase grid connection is needed to achieve this. The majority of homes and charge points currently do not have this connection. In most cases the maximum charging power will be 7.4 kW, allowing for a charge time of 3 hours 45 minutes and a charge rate of 24 mph. Charging the car using a regular wall plug will take around 12 hours.

Rapid charging is not possible.

Energy Consumption

The estimated combined (motorway and city) energy consumption of the Renault Zoe R240 is about 259 Wh per mile. By comparison, this energy consumption is the equivalent of a fuel consumption of 156 mpg in a traditional petrol car.

The actual energy consumption will depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style. For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in an energy use of around 388 Wh per mile. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the efficiency to about 173 Wh per mile.

CO2 Emission

The Renault Zoe R240 emits no CO2 during driving. This only includes direct emissions from the vehicle itself. The energy needed to charge the battery might have been (partly) generated by the use of fossil fuels. Vehicles with an internal combustion engine will always emit CO2 during driving. Additionally, CO2 is emitted during the production and transport of fossil fuels.
