I have the previous version of the ZOE (ZE40). To preheat the battery you need to be plugged in and program a departure time in the car. The car will preheat the battery to 15degrees, makes a huge difference in winter range.

That's odd. I definitely get a full 41 kwh from my ZE40. I do find the range drops off quite a lot in cold weather but I am in south of the UK so temperatures below 0 degrees C are fairly unusual.

I ordered one yesterday :)

Re battery size, need to know that when charged to the max Zoe takes round 20-25 km to get from 100 to 99% and then when it reaches 0% it can still drive another 25km. In total round 50km which on average translates to 7.5 Kw and thats the difference.

SOC might not be linear in energy (Wh) but in electric charge (Ah). As voltage drops when you empty the battery you would get out more energy out of the top percentage points than the percentage points at the bottom. Some people claim it is that way in the Ioniq, but I have not measured it myself.

On the previous Zoe, there could be a couple of kWh between 99 and 100%. Sometimes up to 3 or 4. Might be something to check next time.

You definitely made the right choice! Cinnamon, caramel and chocolate are the best.

The cold weather does affect the available capacity, but also the first Zoés have a "faulty" BMS. I got mine checked today and it was giving a SoH of 94%. I got the car in January so it was an early version. I got it updated and the garage told me I now have 100% SoH. This should help me going from 47 to 52 kWh available and from 350 to 400 km of range during the summer with a consumption around 13 kWh/100 km.

Just watched this video again with interest. There's a lot of discussion at the moment in the UK with regard to the Zoe's usable capacity now that more cars are coming online, will you be doing some summer testing at all?

I think the Zoe uses air from the cabin heater/ac to help the battery. If you don't use heating the battery temp can drop.

Bjørn Nyland have you checked the car manual for the OBD2 port? Maybe bellow the steering column? It has to be in a easy do access place!

If you get your hands on a new Seat Mii electric some kind of video about it would be very great!

From my experience. 99-> 100% charging and 100->99% driving (~10km) correspond to about 3% charge energy / range.

I really want one of these but I’ll need to wait for a second hand one $$$

Were you using the a/c or heater ? ; in the Smart For Two Ev using either decimates the range in the winter by at least 1/3 and who wants to travel further yet be freezing cold?

Many of the cars Bjørn is testing have a tendency to gravitate towards Bolleland for 'energy charging' 😅

Unfortunately here in Brazil this new version has no forecast coming

Bjorn, in Romania the new Zoe seems to be available either as ZE40 or as ZE50. So maybe you had a ZE40 version for testing?

Zoe (40) and 22 were limited to about 135km/h..

If you had driven south you had got less elevation and higher temperature. Under 10 degrees Celsius you got lower range, as I already experienced this year with my Tesla based RAV4 EV. Tested the same car 2 weeks ago and the salesman said normal range winter time is 250 km .

Any news on the Mini Cooper SE?

I believe, nothing is wrong with the battery nor anything else. A range is depending on the style you drive, speed, road type (hilly, flat) and outside conditions (e.g. temperature, where electricity consumption is much more), + drive on Eco mode or without. We have Zoe for the last 2 years. On the motorway, with 120km/h, we can do only about 150km. Whereas, in the city with Eco could go up to 300km (possibly, even more, never tried to do only city) with one charge.

How long did it take to recharge?

Interesting fact Renault is probably one of the few big car companies (possible the only one, but I believe other french brands are doing the same) which got into the EVs market using a relatively old motor design which is the brushed electrically excited synchronous motor. All the other big players, Tesla, VW, Porsche, Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Jaguar, Hyundai (most likely chinese brands as well) are using brushless Permanent Magnet (PM) sychronous motor in their powertrain. Not sure if the new 2020 Zoe is still using the brushed design, but definitevely older version did. The small Twizy is equipped with it. The brushless PM-excited designs are better for performance point of view (torque/power density, efficiency) due to the fact that the field is produced by a magnet rather than electromagnet (losses /overtemperature / bigger volume). And we do not have the problem of the consumption of the critical brushes (some failures were reported in older Zoes). For cost point of view, the brushed electrically-excitated designs have clear advantages (Rare Earth magnets are very expensive and price suffes of instability, being mainly sourced from China). Another advantage is higher rotor overheating capability since no magnets are used. Definetively a surpassed technology in traction machine, but "if it works (for this specific application) why not". The brushed electrically excitated sychronous machines are still a big players in the lowest class of 48V mild-hybrid architecture...and of course in electrical power plants.

@@PaulMansfield No, because you have to charge in DC and controlled way the battery anyway (like all the other competitors), with 3-phase you can deliver simply more power in an efficient way. If other competitors want, they could do the same easily but I guess they know the the majority of home do not have 3-phase supply (in Italy typical energy residential contract is 1-phase 3kW, switch to 3-phase is normally above 6kW). Motor controller is based on the same logic of the other competitors using synchronous machines (closed-loop space vector control), the difference is that in the Renault's electrically-excited design you have one more degree of freedom given by the DC rotor excitation current.

At 0 degree Celcius you get only 90% of the capacity. This number depends on each chemistry (which is unknown of this new model).

Bjørn, a real-life challenge would be to test the Zoe at 0C or below at night ie under cold conditions with the heating and lights on, and at motorway speeds which in European continental countries is around 130 km/h. That is when you need really good range, and when you don‘t want to stop for eg an hour in the cold and darkness to charge the battery. I estimate that half the wltp nominal range would be a good estimate of the real range under such conditions.

I'll doubt it. I think it was a good choice to go for a 22kW AC charging and cut the cost on a faster DC charger. Remember that this car wil mostly drive in cities + suburbs. There is better AC charging support. And if you have you're own AC home charger you most likely will never need DC charging with this kind of range.

No excuse for no stop and go adaptive cruise control! All new model cars are including it even the tiny class such as the new Toyota Yaris and Mazda 2. Even the new Chinese made MG EV has autonomous Lv 2 which includes lane keep assist as well as stop and go adaptive cruise control.
