I purchased a used Zoe in June a 2021 with less than 3000 miles . It's our first step to EV and is our only car I can honestly say WOW its amazing and I come from a world of I.C.E. But will never go back Definitely an electric future for me....😊

Recent owner of the much older Q210. Honestly, it has been great, it's such a nice car!

Great video. I have recently upgraded my Gen 1 Zoe to a ZE50 Iconic and it is a totally different beast altogether. It's a great car that is very energy efficient and comfortable to drive as well. With the CCS and the increased range it is a car I shall be sticking with for many years before I even think of changing it.

Mine was a pre-reg and so about 10000 cheaper than list price. No problems with reliability, unless to do with the inexperience of nearly running out of electric and finding busy chargers or apps not working late at night. Slow charging, yes, but I try to keep above 50% so charge more often when doing that rare long trip, when this is possible. The satnav maps always load the update onto my music-filled usb stick, a bit weird. Safety features help the driver and road-users, but you have to drive safely anyway. The NCAP result does shoo away some.

I have bought the used Zoe 2022 at price 23k. This is my first car and perfect for me 😊. The Renault customer service provider pentagon at Rochdale, Great Manchester, Uk are friendly. The only few issues I encountered is 1)punching tyre and the weld tyre sensor warning at rainy weather. 2)The sensors always give you a strange and odd “bit” sound while fault motion detection. 3) acoustic insulation could be improved. I can clear hear the songs played inside my car at outside. 😅 Otherwise, this is a high CP car with all the necessities and which luxury band car BMW, Audi, Mercedes Benz can cost you the nightmare as options.

I bought our ZE50 110 with 250 miles on the clock in 2021. After 3 years, I still enjoy driving it. It's also more economical on battery than the 135. I'm seeing an annual average of more than 5.3 miles per kilowatt hour; a range of 275 miles or more. In Summer I'm seeing over 300 miles on long runs with 2 people and holiday luggage. On motorways at average traffic speeds I see at least 4.8 miles per kilowatt hour in Spring. I don't like the facts that we have no indication of recharging speeds, and we don't have Car Play. Renault Customer Services have been exemplary, but the dealer keeps trying to persuade me to downgrade to a hybrid. They must be desperately trying to shift those frankenkars before it's too late!

My friends had theirs fail to charge, needed 30 error messages cleared and Renault could only take in a month later, then charged for investigation. No problems with Leaf for 10 years!

Great content, thank you. I wouldn't consider one after learning about the following: Most unreliable used EV according to Which. N-Cap rating at a Zero - I'd consider safety highly with children. Test drove a ZE50 prior to the NCap rating change and found the driver seat causing lower back pains (at 36 yrs of age, lol). Finally, when driving at slow speeds, the pedestrian warning noise (VESS) was intrusive from within the cabin.

I'm in the market for small used EV for my wife as our 2nd car but I couldn't bring myself to have a Zero NCAP rated car. So it's a no from me for the Zoe. However, I'll be interested in the other models you review as we are very close to getting an EV with the proceeds from our Skoda Karoq which will be up for sale shortly. Sad to see it go but it's time for us to get an EV for local trips which will be charged from home only. So far we are drawn to a 1-2 year old facelift Kona with the 64 kWh battery so I'm hoping this is on your list of reviewed models. Subbed & liked.

I was considering a Zoé, actually. Then, I found out about the MG4, which is cheaper AND superior to the Zoé in every way except not being Chinese.

What version is this, as the latest version received zero stars in the 2021 Euro NCAP safety rating assessments?

Zoe is water cooled via the AC

still not in the United States/

Ridiculous money for what it is .

The Zoe could've been great but it's not. It's rubbish. I've been driving Zoe since 2018, first the old 41kWh for 30.000 miles and since 2020 the new one with 52kWh and CCS for 40.000 miles (currently). Quality is atroctious, service is bad, charging is often finnicky and throws errors and safety is on par of a 2013 car. The passenger doors (front right and both rear) on mine make a loud noise as if something were to break when closing. Renault says if they change the springs it will reappear. The steering makes noise while turning because the strut bearings have plastic that starts rubbing and it sounds like it's breaking. The motor makes noise as if a bearing is damaged at 30mph. Renault says it's normal. Steering wheel buttones were unresponsive at first. Renault said that there's no fix. After a year I asked again, they replaced my steering wheel and forgot to plug in the steering wheel position sensor which resulted in an extra day in the shop. The car is advertised for 50kW charging but only receives 46kW. It's almost 10% less than advertised. You cannot heat or cool your car while charging. Turning the climate control on will only turn the fan on, regardless of the set temperature. You need to set preconditioning or leave the car to be able to start it from the app for a few minutes. Also the fan speed is at maximum the whole time. The software is a desaster. Reversing camera doesn't always work, the audio shuts off randomly for the whole drive, radio turns on randomly instead of my selected input, random error messages flash when opening the door, the trip and consumption meter resets randomly, the consumption is given in kW and not kWh/100km, consumption is also wrong most of the time, BMS has faulty software on the 22kWh (battery won't be balanced especially in winter) and on the 52kWh (false degradation and range reporting) models, you can't turn off automatic brights and when the camera fogs up you can't turn your brights on anymore. After 40.000 miles I feel like the steering has to be checked because it's starting to feel loose. I could go on, it's a rubbish car.
