2017 ZOE - 41kWh - 248 mile range
Discussion
The next generation begins!
On sale October apparently, with about 10% higher power output, current 22kWh model remaining on sale, 22kW/43kW charge options as now

I'd have bought one if I didn't already have a ZOE..

Not with you on that one, no way they can just make up 128 miles out of nowhere
Regeneration makes up a lot of the gap, you virtually drive these cars without touching the brakes. I expect that this car should be good for 180 miles based on everyones experience with the current model.rampageturke said:

248 mile range from 41kWh seems very optimistic. As a general rule of thumb EV's consume 0.3kWh per mile, so it could be 120miles.

Reading drivers experience, they 4-5 miles per kWh out of the existing Zoe, so this would equate to 164-205 miles.Not fully understanding the effect of cold weather on the batteries... if you only get 48 miles of range in the winter does it still take as much energy to charge the batteries? Put another way some of the reduced range is due to running with lights and heating etc but most is due to reduced battery output because of the cold weather. I guess what I'm trying to understand is whether or not the running cost per mile spikes much higher in the winter or if it's just the range that drops.

Cold weather means the battery chemistry isn't as efficient, plus heater and lights can use a little bit of energy. This means that it can use more energy and also take longer to charge. However once the battery pack is warmed up (by rapid charging or driving on the motorway), it isn't quite as bad.Roughly range reduces about 25-40% in the winter.
