Renault ZE: electric gets reality jolt

The ZE proves just how close Renault is to a showroom-ready all-electric car. Based on the excellent Kangoo Be Bop, it's full of neat ideas, environmentally friendly and highly practical, too. But it also shows that Renault is very advanced in finding the answer to the practical issues which have so far hindered the introduction of electric cars on to our roads. With a launch date that's not that far away, the future is closer than you think. ·
