Range

The range of a vehicle is dictated by the battery capacity, driving style and temperature. Just like a petrol or diesel vehicle, range is reduced is you drive fast or uneconomically. For further details, see Range Explained.

The current owner is getting around 50-60 miles range in the summer with their driving style. Urban driving would be more economical and therefore could see another 15-20 miles. As with all EVs, the range is reduced in the winter due to the cold. Cold winter range can be up to 25% lower, depending on heating use.

Charging

The Kangoo vans have a 16A/3.6kW type1 AC charger with no rapid charging facility. Charging is typically overnight or top-ups between trips. A full charge (from 0-100%) takes around 5-6 hours on a 7kW wall charger and up to 9 hours when using a portable charger on a normal 3-pin mains socket.

A type2 to type1 charging cable is included for connecting to a home, workplace or public chargers. To charge the van from a normal mains socket, requires a portable charger (often called a granny cable) which will require purchasing separately.

Battery

22kWh lithium-ion battery. The current state of health (SoH) is 74%, as tested on 08/11/2021. The battery is leased and therefore guaranteed for life. See below for further information on this.

RCI (i.e. Renault Finance) are now giving Kangoo ZE owners the opportunity to purchase their 22kWh batteries, so the new owner has the choice to continue to lease the battery or purchase it and own it outright. The cost would be around £1,800 but you'll have to get a current quote from RCI, as the price reduced with age.

MoT

The current MoT expires 20/10/2022. However, this electric van is exempt from MoT tests (see MoT tests for further details), so testing is not compulsory.
