Renault Zoe R240 2015 works best as a FWD electric hatchback for city driving, short commutes and simple home charging. The official NEDC range is a useful headline, but the BEVDB mixed estimate of about 157 km and the 127 km cold-highway scenario are better planning figures.
Charging is mostly a home-planning question here: home charging takes about 1 h 12 min from 0-100%. The practical side is documented with 5 seats and 338-1225 L cargo. The BEVDB mixed estimate is meaningfully below the official range figure. Range confidence is high, while specs completeness is partial.

Estimates of actual range. The values given here are BEVDB estimates calculated from WLTP data and usable battery capacity, based on the BEVDB model. The BEVDB real-range card uses four fixed reference scenarios: City (Mild), Highway (Mild), City (Cold), and Highway (Cold). Mild means +20°C (70°F) without intensive climate-control use; cold means -10°C (14°F) with cabin heating. City speed is 50 km/h (30 mph), and highway speed is 110 km/h (70 mph). These figures are not official test results. Actual range will vary depending on speed, temperature, road conditions, road profile, load, tires, and driving style.
Estimated charging times are based on usable battery capacity, charging power and vehicle charging limits. Peak DC power is usually reached only briefly; average 10–80% power is more useful for estimating real charging time. Actual charging speed can vary by charger output, battery temperature, state of charge, weather, software and battery condition.
BEVDB estimates use WLTP-rated (or derived; falls back to NEDC when WLTP is missing) consumption and usable battery capacity to model city/highway ranges; the combined value is a weighted mix of city/highway and mild/cold scenarios. See the methodology and data sources for inputs, official source boundaries, fallback rules, and versioning.
Reminder: Range and energy consumption figures are estimates. Actual results may vary depending on weather, driving style, terrain, and other conditions.
