The Zoe (Greek. life) is competitively priced probably only because the battery is leased. Advantage: if the capacity is less than 75 percent, you get a new one. There are two contracts, one of sale and one of loan, which must be transferred separately in the case of selling the car to second hand. If the monthly rental is not paid, the car will be shut down wireless.

Best you drive many kilometers. If only 5,000 instead of 30,000 the price per kilometer is 2.5 times as high. Also you make a contract at least for three years, what saves up to nearly 30 percent, but this percentage is less the more kilometers you drive. If you choose for more than 5,000 km per year, the difference between driven and chosen should not be more than 5,000 km, otherwise you don't get all your money back.

The Zoe has developed to the best-selling pure electric car in Europe. Its larger enterprise brother Leaf with more battery capacity is the world leader. Already without extras the Zoe has all essential equipment such as the important charging cable. Only light/rain sensor and parking sensor are coupled, but with 500 euros still affordable. Higher equipment packages: 1,800 euros.

As with other providers of electric cars also fast-charge is only suitable at stations outside home. Unauthorized can remove the charging cable only by force. To get this comfort at home you have to pay 755-1,700 euros extra. For more than 5,000 euros you get a charging station for two vehicles from RWE, loading five times as fast as normal. But high loading speed suffers from loss up to 30 percent. 06/16
