Renault's Z.E. vehicle range comes to Portadown in 2012
By launching a range of electric cars that are accessible to everybody, Shelbourne Renault is committed to making our cars simpler, more comfortable, more technologically advanced, and above all, a lot kinder to the environment. The Kangoo Z.E is available to order, Fluence Z.E mid 2012, Zoe Autumn 2012 and the Twizy Spring 2012.
The electric car is nothing short of a revolution and it is a particularly gentle one.
Using a combustion engine vehicle pollutes the environment, particularly when you accelerate or go up a slope. It actually benefits whenever the vehicle goes downhill or decelerates, with the kinetic energy converted into electricity to recharge the battery.
The electric motor’s constant level of torque is available instantly, ensuring a more pleasurable drive without any jerky gear changes.
Driving pleasure
- DYNAMIC: Electric vehicles have attitude! Experience their unparalleled acceleration performance, thanks to the instant availability of maximum torque.
- SMOOTH: Electric motoring also offers a zen driving experience – flexible and smooth with no gear changes.
- NOISELESS: Serenity at the wheel, with the unique experience of total silence as you drive.
Where will I recharge my vehicle?
Directly at home, with the Wall Box (domestic charging terminal).
The Wall Box is an ingenious system that allows you to charge up your vehicle when at home. The process takes from six to eight hours, and can be carried out while you sleep - when electricity is at its cheapest.
Incredibly simple to use, the Wall Box can be installed in your garage by an authorised electrician. It offers complete peace of mind, as is entirely safe and protects against vandalism.
Quick charging
This is a more advanced method of recharging. When you need to recharge your battery quickly, simply connect your car to one of the “quick charging" points installed in public areas. A 10 minute charge offers a range of 31 miles, whilest in just 30 minutes, the battery can be completely filled
Standard recharging: an electrifying, everyday solution.
• What kind of socket is required?
Any standard 220V – 16A or 10A domestic socket can be used to recharge the Twizy.
All other Renault Z.E. vehicles can be charged via an intelligent, secure recharging device, known as the Wall Box. This practical solution will allow you to recharge your vehicle directly in your garage.
• How long does it take?
Three and a half hours are required to fully recharge the Twizy.
Six to eight hours are necessary to fully recharge the other vehicles.
• When can the system be used?
You can recharge your vehicle this way when it is parked overnight in a private parking space, or during the day (while you are at work) in a public car park. In so doing, you make the best possible use of your time.
• Where should the charging socket be installed?
The recharging point should be installed in your garage or shared private car park. The specially adapted socket is protected by a secure automatic key system, preventing against all forms of vandalism.
