Renault Electric Car Zoe Outsells Tesla, Volkswagen Models in Europe

Renault delivered a shock in its latest sales figures to anyone who had only paid attention to Tesla’s stock chart. The French carmaker’s all-electric Zoe out-muscled the Model 3 as Europe’s best-selling electric vehicle in the first half of the year.

(The National)

Fahad's key takeaways: 

  • Renault's four-door electric hatchback Zoe bested Tesla’s Model 3, Volkswagen’s electric Golf and Nissan Motor’s Leaf to become Europe's top-selling electric vehicle.  
  • Zoe has seen its sales increase steadily YoY. The affordable price of this subcompact, coupled with the incentives provided by French and German governments, has led to the sales of over 38,000 units in the first six months of 2020. Zoe is one of the biggest names in the electric vehicle market and has helped position Renault as a major player in the future of mobility.
  • Since its launch in 2009, Zoe hasn't undergone major changes except for a few redesigns and upgrades. The new Zoe has a 10-inch TFT cluster and EASY LINK infotainment system with a 9.3-inch portrait screen that features real-time charging information, and Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™. Iconic models also include a unique seat fabric that is made from 100% recycled material. Zoe provides a comfortable drive in urban centres because of its narrow, boxy shape and manoeuvrability. 
  • VW's long-awaited ID.3 has entered the market and PSA Group is promoting two new electric models, the Peugeot 208 and the Opel Corsa. The competition will be fierce in the second part of the year.
