From left to right: Fluence, Twizy, Zoe, Kangoo


At the Frankfurt Motor Show, Renault introduced 4 concept cars that are all electric, not hybrid, electric only. These cars cover city transit, family, commercial and general use categories.


The Twizy city car has a 15kW motor while the Zoe has a 70kW motor. The Fluence family car offers 100 mile range on a full charge and motor size was not specified. The Kangoo offers a 70kW motor as well as solar panels to extend its range.

All 4 cars have 3 charging options, standard multiple hour charging at a charge station, 20 minute quick charge and the Quickdrop system where the battery is exchanged in less than 3 minutes.

The last option, Quickdrop, will of course require a station set up for the process. Renault is working with "Project Better Place" for the battery swapping.
