During this summer my GOM has regularly shown a 100% range of at least 200 miles. I don't always use Eco mode but usually have B regeneration set. I normally hover around 4.0 to 4.4 m/kWhr but this is so dependent upon the usage. It's difficult to know exactly what you will get unless you actually run the battery down fully, which in my view is not to be advised. I've honestly never tried it. But I do believe the Zoe ZE50 is fairly efficient on the whole and I think it's a great little EV. Sadly, the Zoe is not going to be available as a new car purchase soon but it is now a very good second hand buy for drivers who do not need a massive range or super fast rapid charging speed.

I have a 2020 R135 GT line bought from new. 160-180 mile range at 100% charge in colder wetter weather is not unusual in my experience. It can be even lower in very icy cold weather. Use of the heater, fans, heated rear window, seats and steering wheel etc. also all contribute to lower GOM readings. It can be useful also to reset the GOM by pressing and holding the down arrow on the right side of the steering until it changes the guesstimated range. However all my driving is fairly local, I charge at home when needed and I have never taken the battery down below about 15%. So I don't know how the Zoe would behave when it's close to an empty battery. Not sure I'd want to find out if I'm honest!

Update on my previous post: It's taken a couple of extra days to activate but 'Send to my Vehicle' on the MyRenault app is now available as well. Remote immediate conditioning from the App is now possible now I've charged the car over 45%.

I had the same problem after my Zoe passed three years old. This week I phoned up the following Renault representative. He was very helpful and I now have access to my Zoe via the My Renault App again. As the website access is not yet functional he was able to give an extra one year access free of charge. Hopefully you will get the same. The only thing I can't seem to access is the send to car function in Maps. I'm not sure if that's included in the package.

For this time of year and at current temperatures the 170 mile range is about right. My Zoe showed a similar range at 100% charge a few days ago. The range should increase as the weather gets warmer. However, the mileage shown is the car’s guess based upon previous driving style annd journeys etc. B Mode regenerative braking is always limited on the Zoe when charge is at 100%. This warning is normal and will stop appearing once the battery is discharged enough for it to accept further B mode regeneration. I hope that is of help.

Thanks for that Jon. It’s not until September but I’ll definitely try again to get my Zoe updated.

To be honest it was not the BMS update that I was interested in but I was hoping to get the energy info menu implementation so that I could see the charging history and other useful information that this seemed to promise and is shown in my Easy Connect manual. Not a major deal I will admit but I was at the time disappointed in the seeming inconsistency of responses from the various Renault dealers to carrying out this update. I really do like my Zoe and as far as I know the BMS is doing what it needs to. It’s due for its third service and first MOT later this year so maybe I’ll mention the energy update again when I book.

Interesting comments and responses since I bought my ZE50 GT line Rapid Charge in 2020 from Smiths in Peterborough. I was advised the following year that the BMS and energy screen updates described were not available on this version even though the guy running the RZOC forum had his Zoe updated around the same time. I also contacted Renault U.K. around the same time about this but had no luck at all. Needless to say I gave up trying! Maybe things have improved.

From an experience I had around two years ago with my 2020 Zoe, you are extremely unlikely to get any BMS or energy screen updates done free of charge despite all the advice on YouTube etc to the contrary. My local dealer was totally uninterested in my request even as part of an annual service. The only updates you will receive are over the air minor bug fixes to your system as purchased. However, good luck in your endeavour.
