Welcome ScubaChris, I hope you are finding the forums informative.
You seem to be picking the same spec I initially wanted. However after seeing the 16″ standard alloys on the Intens I’ve opten for those as you should get more range from the EV tyres fitted to those. I changed my mind from the black having seen the colour tiles that came into the dealership on the same day I ordered mine. I went for the Neptune Grey.
Yes, you’re right about the more efficient tyres not being available in 17″ but I really do like those wheels and thought the trade off in range was worth it. My daily round trip commute is only 25 miles anyway and besides, I drive like an old granny so I won’t exactly be chewing through battery charge -lol.
I actually wasn’t considering a black one until I saw the black demonstrator at the local dealer. It looked far better than it does in the photos, especially with all the little blue highlights around the headlights, badge and grille.[Added picture]
That was my thinking too – I much prefer two-tone alloys (we have them as summer wheels on our Picasso and look nicer than the boggo ones which are now the winters). However the delay on the 17s meant I ended up switching to the 16s, which in addition to being one colour have my other pet hate – they’re the wrong way round on one side of the car!
We’ve seen a white Zoe in the wild, and although it does look OK, the black just works better (in our opinion) with the blue highlights and all the black parts, such as the nose and the rear window. We were quite glad to see that the interior is lighter than the brochure suggests, though – not as light as the Zen, but not as dark as our current Fiesta which is proper black (and red) on the inside.
Hi all – just ordered a zoe yesterday, so thought I’d join in the forums! I think this is the final piece of my puzzle to wean off fossil fuels; solar PV, solar thermal, ASHP and now a Zoe EV. Although its great that polar bears think I’m an OK guy, the main reason I do this stuff is to save money in the long run. I don’t think I’m an eco-warrior, but loads of other people do!
Going for the Itens, black, 17″ wheels and the Luxe pack (for the armrest). Delivery quoted as September. I flicked through the owners manual – thanks to the member who posted the link – I hadn’t thought about the deep puddle problem; our local roads are liable to flood after heavy rain, so that will be interesting. Presumably you know it’s too deep if you see the flood water light up a vivid blue colour!
I guess we’re all early adopters. My dealer hasn’t got a charger fitted yet and has to charge their demo car at the train station! I look forward to better charging infrastructure and better dealer knowledge to deal with the issues like Buzzar has suffered.
A bit gutted the r-link stuff doesn’t seem to work with iPhones, but it’s early days.
Cheers,
MarkHi, markd – welcome! I’d be interested to hear your experiences with solar, heat pumps, etc. (in the Energy and Climate Change forum). I like the idea of a heat pump, but having fairly recently had a new gas boiler installed (before going all ‘eco warrior’) I suspect it wouldn’t make sense to get one.

Do you mean the Renault ZE Services app on the iphone?
Happy to chat about ASHPs in the other forum – had it in for a year now so fully au fait with its moods and habits. On the r-link subject, I had envisaged being able to use the iPhone to see charge state, set the cabin temp etc, but I’m now thinking that’s not currently possible. I’m not wanting to go too far off-topic, so may post an r-link question in the correct forum.
Cheers,
MarkI have the ZE Services app on my iphone, just not the Zoe yet so I cannot log in. But as far as I knew that app enables you to see, start and stop charge status en to turn climate control on (always 22 degrees).
Do you not see that in your app?
Ah, the penny drops! Thanks Nosig – I had found the E-Services Renault app, which isn’t the correct thing. I hadn’t seen the ZE Services app buried further down the list. Downloaded now – looks like I have to register an account somewhere so will check out the Renault site.
Cheers,
Mark
