The Renault Zoe already has 50,000 units sold in its three years on the market

Pride. That is what the French diamond-shaped brand feels after surpassing the figure of 50,000 units sold of the Renault Zoe, one of its three electric vehicles.

Three years after its launch on the market, the Renault Zoe continues to grow and improve its sales records, being the best-selling electric model of the brand.

This unit number 50,000 went to a French family living in Saint-Cloud, just 15 kilometres from Paris. To mark this very special figure for Renault, the vehicle was handed over at the Flins factory, also very close to the French capital, where the brand produces exclusively this zero-emission model for the whole world. The keys were handed over by Guillaume Berthier, the sales director for electric vehicles.

In its press release, Renault says that it is the only manufacturer with a complete 100% electric range, with the Twizy, Zoe and Kangoo Z.E. models. They also talk about the great growth of this type of electric vehicle worldwide, with 48% during 2015. Also during 2015, the Zoe accounted for 20% of the total market in its segment in Europe, with 18,500 units sold.

The brand also proudly states that 98% of customers who have purchased a Renault Zoe are satisfied, further stressing that there are 60,000 electric vehicle charging points on the European continent.

The Renault Zoe is a vehicle that by size belongs to the B-segment, with dimensions very similar to those of its sibling, the Renault Clio. It also has a 5-door body and a cabin approved for 5 people. Among its homologation data we find a power output of 88 CV and a range of 240 kilometres. Its top speed is 135 km/h.
