Frequently asked questions
What are the Renault Zoe and Vauxhall Mokka like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 145 miles for the Renault Zoe and 173 miles for the Vauxhall Mokka - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Vauxhall Mokka goes roughly 28 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Renault Zoe or the Vauxhall Mokka?
The Renault Zoe is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 257 mm narrower than the Vauxhall Mokka. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 670 mm of total clearance for the Renault Zoe and about 413 mm of total clearance for the Vauxhall Mokka.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Renault Zoe or the Vauxhall Mokka?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Renault Zoe and 84% for the Vauxhall Mokka. 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.
