Renault Zoe ZE 50 R110 Iconic

The Renault Zoe ZE 50 R110 Iconic has compact dimensions that ease city parking and navigating tight streets. It scored only 0 stars in Euro NCAP crash testing, worth weighing if safety is a priority.

By eight years on the road it should still hold about 86% of its battery health, roughly 248 km of real-world range, which is a useful yardstick if you’re buying used. What owners say: Owners report good real-world range of 200-240 miles from newer ZE50 models, with CCS rapid charging making longer trips manageable. Motor and inverter failures are reported across several model years, with costly repairs at £3,800+, although individual cases suggest isolated issues rather than systemic defects.

What Owners Say

Positive

Owners Love

  • Owners report good real-world range of 200-240 miles from newer ZE50 models, with CCS rapid charging making longer trips manageable
  • Very low running costs versus petrol cars, with electricity costing roughly one-third as much as fuel and minimal maintenance requirements
  • A practical, reliable small EV for daily commutes and second-car duties, with many owners reporting 70,000+ miles without major problems

Watch Out For

  • Motor and inverter failures are reported across several model years, with costly repairs at £3,800+, although individual cases suggest isolated issues rather than systemic defects
  • Dealer servicing is expensive (£250-350 for routine work), with main-dealer charges significantly above those of independent EV specialists
  • Battery leases bring complications: strict transfer rules, unclear liability on sale and continuing payment obligations after selling the vehicle if paperwork is not processed promptly

Owner Tips

  • Buy used ZE50 models from 2020 onwards with owned batteries (not leased), and confirm CCS charging capability by looking for ‘++’ moulding on the charging port cover
  • For post-warranty repairs, use independent EV specialists (HEVRA Level 3/4 certified) rather than Renault main dealers, typically costing 40-50% less than dealer quotes
  • Pair home charging with competitive overnight electricity tariffs (like Octopus Go at 5-8p/kWh) to maximise savings and achieve running costs of approximately 1-2p per mile
