Renault Zoe GT Line R135: Can a Renault charge faster than a Tesla? | Fully Charged

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

(Important note: This episode was recorded before the UK lockdown)
Hot or not?
Robert spent a week driving the new Renault Zoe GT line R135 and he found something remarkable - it's faster than a Tesla… Well kinda.
Given a set of specific parameters, yes the Renault is a lot faster to charge, domestically, if you've got the right input.
But that's about it. Anyway, Robert gives the low down on his thoughts on this top of the range model. Is it really with being an ‘R’ model. How hot is it?

Brake disc rust, so they need constant daily use to keep them clean and efficient, that means using them at least once a day, otherwise you risk failing stopping altogether, or at a much longer distance than if they were clean! That’s your lesson in engineering for today!

Best we had out of Zoe is 256 miles on one charge on mixed trips and best I got in mid summer on flat 25 miles trip was 6.8 miles per kWh! Regularly get 220-240 even 230 miles on motorway in summer. Last week or so getting less about mid 4s to early 5 s and at 60_65 mph in wind and rain with climate control on 22c auto motorway trip of 155 miles and had 60 mikes left got 4.4 miles per kWh that was good I think.

    When I was still allowed out I was getting around 150 miles range from my ZE40 at night and 5-10 degrees C. In summer I get 180-190 miles range. I would hope the ZE50 would therefore be close to 240 miles in the summer. It does all depend on where you drive and how fast you go of course. The speed limits on my regular jouneys have all been reduced to the point where 0-60 isn't legal on them (dual carriageways now 50 mph limits to reduce pollution and other roads reduced from 60 to 40).

    GT Line is just the top trim level, you can get the R135 at other points in the range. Big advantage of the GT Line is you get the large screen included. This includes android auto/ apple car play which isn't included in the rest of the range! We were unaware of this when we put our order in for an Iconic spec Zoe and by the time we found out it was too late to change. It's gonna be a bugger having a brand new car without modern connectivity.

    Other cars have separate chargers which take space and are heavy - and for three phases / more power they would be even bigger, heavier and more expensive. That's why they have 7kW charger max as a compromise (1 phase, 32A). On the other side, Zoe is using patented (so others can't copy) chameleon technology without additional charger: it's using existing motor and controller for charging. Since the motor is already three phases and controller can use motor as generator in regenerative braking - it's rather simple for it to use three phase AC charging. This is the reason why Zoe (and maybe Tesla?) can charge on full 22kW power of standard Type2 charging station.

    Thanks, Rob. Just got my RT Line. Told my wife I am self-isolating in it. Why? Because the Renault dealer handover went like this. "Please sign here. Thanks. Here are the keys. Goodbye. We are closing and I've got the sack." So, it's just me and the Zoe and the manual. All good as most things are intuitive. Can't access the My Renault app as Renault have screwed up unless you are in any country except the UK. Everything works! No preconditioning on the key fob, unlike the 40kw version. So, this is programmed from the very responsive touch screen but a bit of a bugger if you change your plans last minute from the set schedule. Otherwise, my nought to sixty was a good bit quicker than yours. And now I don't want to get out and mix with non-Zoe people. Merci.

    I've a an e2008 on order. It's a GT, and its no different in performance that any of the cheaper variants, its just trim level. However, the GT in the Pug has many of the active safety features that the GT line does not, which is why I went for it and am paying a bit more on the lease, as I judge the extra £20 quid a month or so to be worth it. I think it's officla 0-60 is around 8.5s, but not an issue for me, my Leaf 30kWh is quick enough when out of Eco mode.

    Scary was going to Applecross in one of these - and watching the battery go down. As we descended on the other side of the pass, much of the charge returned. So we did get home without problems, but it was scary as at one time it looked as though we were pushing the limit on the round trip. The Zoes do become more touchy in cold weather. Also having the battery charged up fully is not a good idea for regular use, as this limits braking performance - best not to go above 80% - unless really planning a long trip - and equally also - not going below [say] 30%. Also unfortunately the Zoes have now been given black marks for safety. One other thing, in Eco mode, the accelerator pedal has a definite kick back at around 50-55 mph - which I find annoying. What I really want to know is whether a Tesla granny charger can be used to charge one of these Renaults.
