Zoe Z.E. 40 C.R, the solution for faster loading
The Renault ZOE Z.E. 40 C.R. is a new version of the leading electric car in Portugal and Europe, which offers loading times that are about 30% lower than the already known ZOE Z.E. 40. That is, the solution for those who have to use the fast loading stations frequently and with an autonomy that is more than enough for the daily necessities of most private or business customers: 370 kilometers in NEDC cycle. The Renault ZOE Z.E. C.R. is available for business customers, starting at € 15,460 and € 18,820 for private customers.They did not even need the fingers of one hand to account for the years that Renault needed to double the autonomy of the 100% electric ZOE. But if technological progress will continue to amaze even the most skeptical, it is also time to provide solutions that respond to specific needs and behaviors, such as those that resort to fast shipments, not just exceptionally. Indeed, for those who need to resort to this solution with some frequency - and by the end of the year only the Mobi.e network will provide, around the country, around 700 fast and Renault ZOE ZE 40 C.R. is the solution. In relation to ZOE Z.E. 40 that claims 400 kilometers of autonomy in NEDC cycle, ZOE Z.E 40 C.R. has as a great advantage a significant reduction of the time of the fast shipments.

Charges up to 30% lowerIn other words, to charge the batteries from zero to 80 percent load (close to 300 kilometers of autonomy in NEDC cycle), the Renault ZOE Z.E. 40 C.R. needs 65 minutes, instead of the 100 minutes of ZOE Z.E. 40. A time saving of the order of 30 per cent, but this in the 43kW (64A) fast charging stations. In a Wallbox of 22kW (32A), the charging times are in all cases identical to ZOE Z.E. 40.In this sense, for example, for companies that are able to install fast charging stations in their premises, ZOE Z.E. 40 C.R. is another solution to take into account in the most complete 100% electric range on the market.

Renault ZOE Z.E. 40 with two engine proposalsBut, technically, how the different charging times between the ZOE Z.E. 40 C.R. and the already known ZOE Z.E. 40? The answer lies in the engine. The first is equipped with the block designated Q90 and the second with the designated R90. Two distinct motors, but they claim very close or even identical numbers. The electrical unit of ZOE Z.E. 40 C.R. has a power of 65kw (88cv) instead of 68kw (92cv) of ZOE Z.E. 40. The autonomy is 370 kilometers (in NEDC cycle) instead of the 400 kilometers of ZOE Z.E. 40. Already the torque of 220Nm, acceleration from 0 to 50 km / h in 4.1 seconds, 0 to 80 km / h in 8.6s and 0 to 100 km / h in 13.2 seconds are common to two versions.

Unbeatable cost of ownershipHowever, the costs of use are identical in both versions and, of course, unbeatable compared to those of a motor-fueled combustion engine. Is that if the Renault ZOE Z.E. 40 is charged into a simple electrical outlet of a dwelling house, company or garage, can travel 100 kilometers with a cost of electricity - imagine! - only € 1.4. The contracted electricity tariff only has to be bi-hourly. If this is not the case, the same hundred kilometers has a maximum cost of € 2.4! That is, a value incomparably inferior to that which is claimed by the most economical diesel.But the savings do not stop here ... Apart from the Renault ZOE being exempt from the payment of Single Traffic Tax, it is not covered by autonomous taxation and in the city of Lisbon does not even pay parking. Not to mention the cost of revisions: between 30 and 50 euros!And, if all the previous numbers are valid for a particular customer, what say to a company, who also benefits from the full VAT deduction?

Different, but ... just like other cars!As a 100% electric car, the filling station of the Renault ZOE Z.E. 40 C.R. is a simple electrical outlet. However, in everything else, there are more similarities than differences compared to a "vulgar" automobile.The dimensions and the habitability rival a Renault Clio. The lines are modern, not missing the "electric" blue on the front and rear lights, which refers to the universe of zero-emission cars.The TFT (Thin Film Transistor) dashboard screen and the 7-inch screen of the Renault R-Link system confirm that the Renault ZOE Z.E. 40 C.R. benefits from the technological, safety and wellness equipments that characterize all models of the brand. In fact, this new version is also available with the BOSE level of equipment, which is distinguished by premium heated leather upholstery, the seven-speaker BOSE® audio system and the beautiful 16-inch Shadow Diamond Black and for different aesthetic details on the body and the passenger compartment.
