That is indeed a bit rich.

Try Daniel Boldock at Evans halshaw in Sheffield. He is well aware of this PH wkfest currently underway on the Zoe's and will likely do you a much better deal than that.

Mine is 7500miles
£150 deposit
£155 per month inclusive of battery.

I was also pretty impressed with the interior room, I'm 6'4" and had plenty of space.
Yes, damn you Pistonheads. Thanks to recent threads on here I now have a Tado heating controller, a membership of The Wine Society and now a fking electric car hehe

Mine has also arrived at Renault Sheffield today and is being delivered here on Friday.

No charging point until 5 Jan and I am not local to one really, so it won't get used for its normal purposes until then

But I am expecting a few journeys to places with chargers, including an 81 mile each way trip to Grantham sometime before the charging point is installed...

I'm taking delivery on the 30th, as the charging point will only be installed on the 06th (and I'm away from the 20th till the 29th).
I guess I'll spend some time at Waitrose for the first week!

Has anyone got any good deal to share, insurance wise? With no NCD (and a faulty claim last June) I had £281 on gocompare, 11000/year miles, including commuting. Not the best but no NCD and one claim is bit of a bugger...
Funny enough, my broker (whom I have 3 fairly modified cars for a total of 850bhp) would not insure the Zoe confused

Test drove one of these earlier today, deal is 100 deposit and 163 per month including battery for a dynamique intens and 8k miles a year on a 2 year deal. Car is in stock but no charging point can be installed until probably after xmas. Dealer has offered to lend a cable that plugs into a 3 pin socket as a temp measure or we could nip down the street and charge it for free at the local trainstation car park smile
Zoe or fiesta? decision decisions.

Anyone know if the Zoe has a DAB radio? It is listed as an option in the brochure but can't seem to add it in the online configurator, perhaps because it is a dealer fit option.

There is an updated model coming soon. Wouldn't stop me from buying one with the current deals, but good to be aware.

Looks like the max AC charging is going to be reduced from 43kW to 22kW, so the low kW AC charging can be made more efficient. Wonder if fast DC charging will now be supported?

just back from a test drive of a Zoe at Renault Cambridge. I was quite impressed it goes quite well and has enough space for me at 6'6.

The dealer offered £156 + £60 per month at 6k miles per year so a bit rich for me, would have to be a good bit cheaper to get me out of my V8

The sweetspot seems to be on a 2yr PCP. As the car has only just depreciated below the financed amount (by less than £1k) it's possible to get a Zoe for about £78-79 per month + battery based on 6k miles per year. This is largely mirroring the Arnold Clark deal.

No, can be added, but it's not great tbh.

Deal done.

Got the Cambridge dealer to £80 for the car + £60 for the battery based on 7500 miles.

Deposit is £139 + the cost of metallic paint (which I did not want but that is what they have in stock)

Works out at £166 over the life of the lease. The Sheffield offer was a bit better at £161 but would prefer to deal locally and was not that keen on a white car either

I may have the car as soon as this weekend, the dealer has agreed to lend me the 13A cable to tide me over until British Gas can do their thing

Mine is still sat at the import centre - been there over 3 weeks now. Apparently it's due at the dealership on Monday. Shame, would really have liked it this weekend as have a few trips that it would be ideal for.

Mines at my local dealer. Its needs a wash and checks/prep as its fresh off the trailer.

Watch out for anyone ordering energy blue, its very light. The shade of blue is the same as the blue Renault diamond logo on all the zoes, almost as light as the iceberg blue.
My interior has a fair bit light plastics too :-( In the brochure the dynamique intens shows are as a dark interior but it seems not as so.

It would appear the interiors are a bit random to be honest.

Yeah I think it's about the best you're going to get price wise, but you should be able to squeeze the mileage allowance up a bit at no extra cost if you need to.

Are you sure it's £50 for the battery bennno, and not £60? Thought it was only £60 over 3 years+ and not sure Renault have much control over that. May be wrong of course.

Can someone explain the mileage limit/allowance on the battery lease?


For what it's worth, I'd need around 10k per year...

Sorry to be clearer, it was £50 over 3 years for the battery, but will be changing to £60 over 2. So its £129, plus metallic at £20 month.

2 years cheapest finance option. I am getting a Dynamic Intens.
