Arguably the most “fun-sized” car on the list is this French coupe-styled five-door city compact hatchback. The Zoe Electric has a new Z.E. 40 Battery which is a lithium-ion battery with double the capacity without an increase in size. This car also uses plenty of energy recovery tech such as regenerative braking, which harnesses the kinetic energy to charge the battery for additional range.
Unique to the ZOE is the Cameleon Smart Charger, which is compatible with various Type 2 charging stations (up to 22kW 3-phase) with the capability to be fully charged in less than 3 hours. Four airbags, Isofix child seat anchorage points, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) Traction Control & Hill Start Assist, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) & Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) sum up this car’s safety features.
