Long-range Renault Zoe ZE 40

Renault Group Ireland has announced the pricing and specifications for the new Zoe ZE 40 which has the longest range of any mainstream electric vehicle — 400km (NEDC), which Renault estimates as 300km of range in real-world driving.

Fitted with the new ZE 40 battery, Zoe now offers double the NEDC driving range compared with when it was first released.

The Zoe” new driving range also removes the final psychological barrier that stands in the way of buying an electric car — so called ‘range anxiety.’

New Zoe, which has a 5-star Euro NCAP rating, is now available from €23,490. This price which includes SEAI grant (€5,000) and VRT relief is for the entry Expression Nav version, with a 22 kW/h battery.

The ZE 40 battery is standard on the Dynamique Nav and top of the range Signature Nav versions, at €27,490 and €29,990. All Zoe pricing now includes the battery, so there is no need to worry about the additional expense of a battery lease.
