Stylish Yet Practical
The Zoe Van E-Tech electric boasts an expressive design with smooth lines, C-shaped 100% LED lighting, and a distinctive grille. Its new wider rear lights and LED light beam enhance its appearance. The powerful R110 motor (107 hp) delivers great performance and driving pleasure, with the new B Mode enabling a one-pedal driving experience through increased regenerative braking.
It balances emission-free driving, attractive design, and practical features, making it ideal for businesses and fleet customers. As the only fully-electric car-derived van, its generous rear load space facilitates secure cargo transport.
Keeping You Connected
The Zoe Van E-Tech electric is designed for connectivity. It features a hands-free key card for unlocking, enhanced interior comfort with recycled fabric upholstery (on BUSINESS+ models), and sound insulation for a relaxing drive. The dashboard includes a 10" wide driver's screen and the EASY LINK system with 7" or optional 9.3" touch screens, supporting Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™.
Designed For You and Your Business
The van offers an impressive 1m³ of rear load space, equipped with 4 anchorage points for securing items. A load compartment cover keeps contents out of sight, and the durable rubber flooring is designed for longevity.
New E.V. 50 Battery
The E.V. 50 battery provides 25% more energy than its predecessor, enabling a driving range of up to 245 miles. Its placement under the floor lowers the centre of gravity without impacting interior or load space. The vehicle delivers 100% torque from a standstill, a quiet motor, and a smooth driving experience without gear changes or the need for petrol stations.
8 Year Battery Warranty
A traction battery warranty of 8 years or 100,000 miles (whichever comes first) is provided for added reassurance.
Innovation for a Better Life
Innovative features are designed to simplify electric life:
- Regenerative Braking: The battery gains energy when the driver brakes, with increased boost in B Mode.
- Heat Pump: Provides efficient air conditioning and heating, conserving battery energy for range.
- Chameleon Charger™: Ensures charging at the maximum available power for speed and efficiency.
- Pre-conditioning: Allows setting the car's temperature remotely via E.V. Services.
- ECO Mode: Limits performance and climate control to maximize driving range.
Battery and Charging
The Zoe Van E-Tech electric uses a lithium-ion battery, offering great performance and recyclability. The Chameleon Charger™ is compatible with various power sources for flexible charging.
Three charging methods:
- At Home or Work: A 7kW charger can fully charge the van overnight (9-10 hours).
- Destination: Over 11,000 public charging locations nationwide offer 3kW to 22kW charging, capable of a 0-100% charge in as little as 3 hours.
- Rapid: High-capacity (50kW+) charge points at key locations provide a 0-80% charge in 1h 10m, or 90 miles of range in 30 minutes.
The MY Renault app or EASY LINK navigation can help locate nearby charge points.
Driving Range
With the E.V. 50 battery, the Zoe Van E-Tech electric offers a WLTP range of up to 245 miles (Business) or 239 miles (Business+). Real-life estimates are 233 miles in summer and 150 miles in winter. The cost per mile is approximately 3p (summer) and 5p (winter).
Winter driving conditions can reduce range due to lower battery efficiency and increased heating usage.
Charging Times:
- 7kW (0-100%): 9h 25m
- 22kW (0-100%): 3 hours
- 50kW (0-80%): 1h 10m

The R110 electric motor (107 hp) provides instant acceleration and enhanced power for a dynamic driving experience, making motorway driving effortless. The E-shifter gear selector allows switching to B Mode for a one-pedal driving experience, feeding energy back to the battery.
Truly Connected
The EASY LINK multimedia system, with 7" or optional 9.3" touch screens, supports Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™. It provides real-time information via TomTom services, including traffic, weather, and charging station locations. Google address search simplifies destination input.
