Frequently asked questions
Is the Ford Puma Gen-E worth the extra £2,800 over the Renault 4?
The Ford Puma Gen-E costs £2,800 more than the Renault 4. For that premium it adds 146 litres more boot space. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Renault 4 comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Ford Puma Gen-E or the Renault 4?
The Renault 4 is £2,800 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £144 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Renault 4 comes out roughly £2,800 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Ford Puma Gen-E and Renault 4 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 186 miles for the Ford Puma Gen-E and 208 miles for the Renault 4 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Renault 4 goes roughly 21 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 26-30 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Ford Puma Gen-E or the Renault 4?
The two are within 9 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 604 mm of total clearance for the Renault 4 and about 595 mm of total clearance for the Ford Puma Gen-E. The Ford Puma Gen-E also turns in a 0.3 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Ford Puma Gen-E or the Renault 4?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Ford Puma Gen-E and 84% for the Renault 4. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
