Zoe Owners Daring Tales/Boring Discussion Thread.......

Resetting the trip computer on mine upped the remaining range left by a fair bit.

Only issue with mine is the headlight aim. It's currently set to retina scorching when the wheel is at position zero.

Hi all,

I ordered a Zoe last month as well for my daily commute to work. I got a price from arnold Clark and got my local Renault garage to match it, £99 deposit, £141 per month, 9,000 miles in energy blue.

Charger gets installed on the 8th by British Gas. Can anyone tell me how long the cable is from the charger so I can decide where is best for it to be fitted.

Thanks

Hi does that Arnold Clarke deal include battery rental?

Includes the battery rental and it's for 24 months. Paperwork was signed just before Christmas, car was registered 27th December but not made it to Scotland yet.

I think you may have won the who got the cheapest zoe deal competition then!

Probably due to it being the last car available in the world and signing up so late on in the year?

Got the metallic paint for free as there wasn't any white ones left to be registered before 31st December and I refused to pay extra for the paint. Arnold Clark were also doing an additional contribution as they apparently hadn't made their targets and this would have a knock on affect to the current year.

My local dealer reluctantly matched the price but said they weren't making any money out of the sale and they had already made their targets for the year. No idea if this is true or not.

Any ideas on the cable length from the British Gas home charger?

4.5m according to this little brochure

The last plain white car was in Scotland and they didn't give It to lookers Chester, the actual last car on the deal is metallic white it was secured last week direct from Renault uk and is on it's way to lookers Chester tomorrow if they can get it out of the compound .
I have got the armrest and met paint thrown in at £139 and £139 15000 / 2 years.
Issue is lots of dealers pre reg cars at month end thus the amount of discounted new ones available vanished

[dave_s13]

Well I got a free Granny cable that's worth £20 per month over 2yrs, so we're all within a few quid of each other.

Just joined over here following a discussion on speakev.com.

I wanted to let you know that if you are looking to minimise the cost of your Zoe deal (and I am sure we all are!) then apparently you can take a 3 year battery rental, even on a 2 year PCP, because the battery rental terms allow you to terminate with 1 month's notice after month 18 anyway.

Taking a 3 year battery rental rather than a 2 year reduces the monthly cost by £10.

It sounds like there are a few on here who grabbed a cheap Zoe at the end of the year. Having heard about these deals during Christmas, I called Arnold Clark on 29/12 at around midday, and by 5pm was the owner of a new Zoe. Hopefully collecting next weekend.

Hello all, just done the deal on a preregistered 64 plate Intens with the 17" optional wheels plus metallic.

With a £1500 deposit on a £8500 retail price, it's coming out at £126pm on 48 month PCP.

Will be my wife's car but I'm ridiculously excited about picking this up!

Will be grateful for all hints & tips especially around superchargers etc!!

Is there a charge for the battery on top of that or is it all inclusive?

Sorry if that's a ridiculous question!

Do any of the trim levels come with LED or Xenon headlights?

Nope, I think you be able to get them in the continent though.

The top spec Leaf has LED headlamps

No such thing as a ridiculous question when it comes to EVs I've decided, as every day's a school day!!

I'm just embarking on a voyage of discovery & picking our first EV up on Saturday.

That price includes the cost of battery

Home charger (Rolec 32A tethered) has been installed just now and is already hard at work

The Phoenixworks did the install and it is a very neat and professional job.
