Renault launches van version of electric ZOE

Renault PRO+ has launched a van version of the electric ZOE Van, which will add to  Renault’s range of electric commercial vehicles – alongside the Kangoo Z.E. and Master Z.E.

With the same 245-mile WLTP range as the ZOE car, the ZOE van benefits from the same level of advanced features in terms of its battery technology and powertrain, as well as its generously equipped high-quality interior, complemented by Renault’s latest infotainment and safety technologies.

There’s a choice of Business and Business+ trim levels in line with other Renault PRO+ commercial vehicles, offering an impressive level of desirable equipment, including a rapid charging option for both models for added convenience.

The All-New ZOE Van benefits from the same advanced powertrain featured in the regular ZOE car, meaning a powerful 52kWh battery and 80kW R110 electric motor resulting in a WLTP range of up to 245 miles on a single charge on Business models.

The R110 motor delivers acceleration of zero to 62mph in 11.4 seconds, while the zero to 31mph sprint is completed in just 3.9 seconds – making the All-New ZOE Van ideal for urban journeys with stop-start traffic, and a perfect fit for tasks such as multidrop deliveries, for example. All of which are completed with zero tailpipe emissions.

There is the option of 50kW DC charging on both trim levels, allowing All-New ZOE Van drivers to charge from zero to 80 per cent in just one hour and ten minutes. If time is tight, a 30-minute charge is enough for a 90-mile boost in range via the DC charger.

The charging inlet is accessed behind the Renault badge on the front of the vehicle, with Renault’s advanced on-board and patented Chameleon charger adapting to the power source for the most time and energy-efficient charge for the vehicle. It also gives drivers the flexibility to use a range of chargers available publicly. As standard, the All-New ZOE Van comes with type-2 charging cable, this allows 100 per cent charge in just three hours using a 22kW public charger.

Renault has also announced the Master Z.E. is now available with an increased payload over its entire range up to 1,700kg (before conversion) and that the Kangoo Z.E. is available to order now in medium and long-wheelbase panel van format.
