Renault ZOE Wins “Best Ultra-Low Emissions Car” Award At Fleet World Honours (Again)

The Renault ZOE has reaffirmed its ever-increasing popularity with business users after being named the ‘Best Ultra-Low Emission Car’ for the second consecutive year at the Fleet World Honours 2018. Hosted by Fleet World magazine, the annual awards, held today at the Royal Automobile Club in London, recognize vehicles, individuals and service providers that demonstrate excellence in the fleet sector in terms of innovation, quality, and sustainability.

Renault Zoe Named “Best Electric Car” In 3 Separate Awards: 1 For 5th Consecutive Year

Perhaps it is in the buoyant and spunky name, Zoe. Perhaps it’s the good quality for price. Perhaps it’s the style and size. In the end, it’s probably just all of the above. Either way, the eco-consciousness of this wonderful EV combined with other compelling consumer benefits to make it the top selling electric car in Europe last year (yet again), but it doesn’t just win on the market. For many reasons in all directions, this EV is chosen as winner again and again in various competitions and rankings. It just logged three more wins.

Tesla Surges, But Renault Zoe Coasts To #1 In 2017 Europe Electric Car Sales

The European passenger plug-in market ended the 2017 season with a near record performance, growing 11% compared to the same period last year by registering some 33,700 units, just a whisker below the all-time record of December 2015 (33,827) — which, let’s not forget, was inflated by fiscal changes that happened in the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark in January 2016.

Top Electric Cars In USA vs. Top Electric Cars In Europe — Comparisons & Thoughts

There are some significant differences with regard to the plug-in electric vehicles that sell the best in Europe and those that sell the best in the USA. While differences with regard to range needs and costs are part of the drivers for these differences (note that the average European drives approximately half as much as the average American over the course of a year), they are by no means the only ones. Questions of national bias, government incentives, and public image all come into play as well, amongst others.
