New one out early summer - expect more discounts on current then
With slightly increased range (8miles IIRC) but without the ability to fast charge at 43kWNot sure if that's a good thing or not?!

If you're on Renault PCP you will get the servicing as long as your car was registered before 01/01/15.
Send me your registration numbers if you want confirmation.
50 quid a month more, 2K less deposit contrib, no free servicing?Send me your registration numbers if you want confirmation.
While the Euro slides south and petrol prices follow the same trend (different reasons naturally), it's hardly the right way to promote a car with limited range and convenience, where it's only real advantage is the cost of ownership/cost per mile compared to a petrol device.
We're teetering on the edge of a general deflationary period at the moment and I personally have done what all people do in those situations - I've put my wallet back in my pocket. Renault seems to think they can buck the trend - good luck to them but I think not...
I'll have another look around end Q1 2015. See if they have come to their senses yet.
Just checked my order form & it states DOR as 30th December 2014, so I'm assuming that I'd qualify for the 4yr free servicing under the PCP deal?
In other news, following my call to Renault UK earlier in the week around not being able to use the car until the B.G install on the 19th Jan ,despite picking it up tomorrow, I've had a phonecall today from the lovely Holly to tell me that she has ordered me a 3 point socket multi-charger that will be mine to keep, by way of compensation for the B.G install delay!
Definitely worth a call to them if you are in a similar boat - very happy with that as I think they're around £400 each?

I might be the minority here, but there is one other + EVs have over soot chuckers and even petrol ICE cars. The driving experience. They pretty much drive themselves and from A to B its the most relaxing easy going car I've ever driven.I got back in Mrs Stargazer's 1.6 petrol qashqai, which I always thought felt smooth and nice to drive prior to getting the EV, and jjeeeezzzus it was like driving a rattly bag of **** tank in comparison. I really hate driving hers now.

Nice one, welcome to the club!

In other news mine still isn't charging from a polar station at a local asda. Their technical bod reckons the car is at fault and not the charge post. Taking it back to renault next week for them to check anyway. Anyone else had problems?

Me too. We're moving at the end of March and I'll be looking for a cheap commuter car- one of these would fit the bill perfectly if the price is right.I was all for grabbing one in Dec, but with the cost of fuel dropping it makes sense to hang on for now and see if any other offers crop up.

Nope, you raise a good point. I had a Daimler a few years ago and that was always a relaxing, placid, pleasant place to be.I got back in Mrs Stargazer's 1.6 petrol qashqai, which I always thought felt smooth and nice to drive prior to getting the EV, and jjeeeezzzus it was like driving a rattly bag of **** tank in comparison.

The Zoe, during my short test drive had a similar vibe, albeit with poorer ride quality, probably because it is half the length!
Similar weight though...

I got offered a courtesy car until the point gets installed. I turned this down, but have just emailed them complaining about the whole thing and demanding a cable. Very nicely of course.My dealer confirmed cars ordered before 1/1/15 get free servicing.

Have the built-in air fresheners been removed from the zoe? The demo I drove had the light dash with them on the passenger side, didn't notice them on mine?
You get the air freshener on the Zen spec with the light interior, the Intens spec with the darker interior gets the reversing camera instead....FastNReliable said:

As I understand, the Zen model gets the air freshener in place of the Intens' reversing camera.Gassing Station | EV and Alternative Fuels | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
