Not true. You can buy one with a battery and do as you please.
Or you can hire a car and a battery and choose as many miles as you like.
Really? If you got any info i'd appreciate it, not seen anywhere you can just buy the batteryOr you can hire a car and a battery and choose as many miles as you like.
Edit: Just found it, costs £13k more?! or £8k after the grant

Click on Purchase options and Full Purchase. It's all in the brochure too.

A Mugen CRZ is what you desire. 197bhp supercharged 1.5.
And to answer the original question (although it's already been said) the Renault ZOE is what you need. Looks relatively normal.
It's a little bit too 'supermini' for me I think. If it was up to me I'd have a Golf or passat estate (or something along those lines)And to answer the original question (although it's already been said) the Renault ZOE is what you need. Looks relatively normal.
It's a shame they don't make electric vehicles as cheap as the Renault Twizy but without looking like Stephen Hawking should wheel his way out of it when it parks up.
If they could build a £5k vehicle or even a quadricycle like the Twizy that looked cool even if it was made of plastic, I'd imagine it could be popular for people doing 5-10 miles commutes.

The orginal G-Wizz was that and got taken off the roads because it was made of plastic with the impact protection of a wet envelopeIf they could build a £5k vehicle or even a quadricycle like the Twizy that looked cool even if it was made of plastic, I'd imagine it could be popular for people doing 5-10 miles commutes.
I have had my Zoe for 2 months now. After nearly 6 months waiting.
The car is very cheap to own on PCP. I would not buy one outright as it's just to risky wondering how little it would be worth in a few years.
I used to have an 08 Impreza R as my daily , my commute is a 30 mile round trip and if you add up the cost of petrol, road tax, servicing and an mot they are almost paying for my monthly PCP. This is before you factor in deprecation too.
My monthly payment for battery and car is £180 for 9000 miles. Each trip to work and back if I charge at home is about 70 - 80 pence. It's still free to charge at a motorway services.
It's full of technology and equipment for the price and is plenty quick enough in town 0- 40 being surprisingly quick with instant torque and no gears. It's not our only car and probably wouldn't work as an only car. But if you accept it's limited range it's a great little car , with almost the same size boot as a golf and bigger than a focus.
