Renault Zoe electric van joins Pro+ range

The pure electric Renault Zoe Van can travel up to 245 miles on a single charge and offers up to one cubic metre of load space behind the front seats.

The van utilises the same 52kWh battery and 80kW R110 motor that its car counterpart it is based on.

There’s a choice of Business and Business+ trim levels in line with other Renault Pro+ commercial vehicles, offering a rapid charging option for both models.

The option of 50kW DC charging on both trim levels allows the electric car-derived van to charge from zero to 80% in 70 minutes. A 30-minute charge is enough for a 90-mile boost in range via the DC charger, says Renault.

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 van comes with type-2 charging cable, which allows 100% charge in three hours using a 22kW public charger.

The Zoe’s load area has been created by removing the rear seats of the existing Zoe passenger car. A completely flat load floor and mesh bulkhead behind the front seats ensures the load area is safe and secure and usable as possible, while the rear doors bring an extra dimension of versatility, enabling access via the side of the vehicle.

For added security, the rear windows are disabled and covered in an opaque film.

The solid lower section of bulkhead extends around where the edge of the rear seats would ordinarily be, preventing items falling out when the rear doors are opened without impeding the usable load space, says Renault.

Access via the boot is easy, says Renault, thanks to a level boot floor and minimal loading lip. The existing parcel shelf remains which aids security but is easily removed to make room for bulkier items. There is also load area cover for added security.

It adds up to total load volume of one cubic metre, thanks to 1,205mm of length in the load bay and maximum load width of 1,110mm. The ability to make use of the side doors for ease of access boosts flexibility for awkwardly shaped or smaller items.

Maximum payload is rated at up to 387kg and all vans feature protective rubber flooring in the load area with four anchorage points on the floor.

As standard, Business trim brings a wealth of features, including: 7-inch Easy Link infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity; Renault keycard with handsfree entry; electrically adjustable heated door mirrors; and full LED headlamps with C-shape daytime running light.

Meanwhile, Business+ trim includes: satellite navigation; wireless Smartphone Charging; rear parking camera; lane Departure Warning (LDW); traffic sign recognition; and electrically adjustable heated door mirrors, electrically folding, finished in body colour.

The specification of Business+ models can be expanded with the Technology Pack. This incorporates Renault’s 9.3-inch portrait-oriented Easy Link touchscreen infotainment system, front and rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera.

Additionally, the Winter Pack is available, enhancing comfort in colder conditions with heated seats and a heated steering wheel.

For fleet customers, telematics is available for fleet asset management, optionally available on both Business and Business+ trims.

The new Zoe electric van comes with a five-year, 100,000-mile warranty. The first two years feature unlimited mileage restrictions, while the remaining three have a 100,000-mile limit. The ZE 50 battery receives an eight-year, 100,000-mile warranty.

Service intervals for the ZOE Van are every 12 months or 18,000 miles, whichever comes sooner.
