Renault Zoe
ZE 50 R110 Iconic
Owners love
- Owners report good real-world range of 200-240 miles on newer ZE50 models, with CCS rapid charging enabling manageable longer journeys
- Very low running costs compared to petrol vehicles, with electricity expenses roughly one-third the fuel cost and minimal maintenance needed
- Practical and reliable small EV suitable for daily commuting and second-car use, with many owners reporting 70,000+ miles without major issues
Watch out for
- Motor and inverter failures reported across multiple model years with expensive repairs costing £3,800+, though individual cases suggest isolated issues rather than systemic defects
- Dealer servicing costs are excessive (£250-350 for routine work), with main dealers charging significantly more than independent EV specialists
- Battery lease complications including strict transfer rules, unclear liability when selling, and continued payment obligations that persist even after vehicle sale if paperwork isn't processed quickly
Owner tips
- Purchase used ZE50 models from 2020 onwards with owned batteries (not leased) and verify CCS charging capability by checking for '++' moulding on the charging port cover
- Use independent EV specialists (HEVRA Level 3/4 certified) instead of Renault main dealers for post-warranty repairs, typically costing 40-50% less than dealer quotes
Vauxhall Mokka-e
SE Nav Premium
Owners love
- Owners like the styling, the generous equipment for the price and the wraparound driver's display.
- The optional IntelliLux matrix LED headlights are singled out as excellent at night.
- Running costs on home charging are very low, and owners describe it as quiet, easy to drive and comfortable in the front.
Watch out for
- The official range is not achievable for most owners: around 160 miles is typical, 100 to 120 at 70 mph, and well under that in winter.
- Owners find the range estimate unreliable, resetting after each charge rather than learning from their driving.
- The boot is small for an SUV and the rear ride is firm.
Owner tips
- Plan on about 160 miles in normal driving and much less on winter motorway trips.
- Judge range by miles per kWh and the battery percentage, not the range estimate.

Frequently asked questions
What are the Renault Zoe and Vauxhall Mokka-e like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 199 miles for the Renault Zoe and 168 miles for the Vauxhall Mokka-e - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Renault Zoe goes roughly 32 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Renault Zoe or the Vauxhall Mokka-e?
The Renault Zoe is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 61 mm narrower than the Vauxhall Mokka-e. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 670 mm of total clearance for the Renault Zoe and about 609 mm of total clearance for the Vauxhall Mokka-e.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Renault Zoe or the Vauxhall Mokka-e?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 86% battery health for the Renault Zoe and 84% for the Vauxhall Mokka-e. That gives the Renault Zoe a modest edge in retained real-world range. 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.
