Renault Zoe
ZE 40 Q90
Owners love
- Smooth, comfortable driving experience with instant electric acceleration and low center of gravity providing excellent handling
- Minimal maintenance with fewer mechanical parts than ICE vehicles; owners report excellent reliability with minimal repairs over 50k+ miles
- Good real-world range of 120-170 miles depending on conditions and battery size, suitable for daily driving and planned longer journeys
Watch out for
- No CCS fast charging capability on most Zoe models; limited to 22kW AC charging, making long journeys time-consuming (8+ hours with multiple stops)
- Very small glovebox and rear seats that don't fold flat, limiting practical storage and cargo flexibility
- AC-only charging infrastructure becoming scarce; 44kW rapid chargers increasingly hard to find in the UK
Owner tips
- Apply PTFE spray to charging socket gasket before winter to prevent freezing; keep spare remote control batteries on hand as they deplete quickly
- Set tire pressure to 40psi instead of Renault's recommendation to reduce premature edge wear; use heavy-duty rated replacement tires suited to the vehicle's weight
Vauxhall Mokka-e
SE Nav Premium
Owners love
- Owners like the styling, the generous equipment for the price and the wraparound driver's display.
- The optional IntelliLux matrix LED headlights are singled out as excellent at night.
- Running costs on home charging are very low, and owners describe it as quiet, easy to drive and comfortable in the front.
Watch out for
- The official range is not achievable for most owners: around 160 miles is typical, 100 to 120 at 70 mph, and well under that in winter.
- Owners find the range estimate unreliable, resetting after each charge rather than learning from their driving.
- The boot is small for an SUV and the rear ride is firm.
Owner tips
- Plan on about 160 miles in normal driving and much less on winter motorway trips.
- Judge range by miles per kWh and the battery percentage, not the range estimate.

Frequently asked questions
What are the Renault Zoe and Vauxhall Mokka-e like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 145 miles for the Renault Zoe and 168 miles for the Vauxhall Mokka-e - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Vauxhall Mokka-e goes roughly 23 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Renault Zoe or the Vauxhall Mokka-e?
The Renault Zoe is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 61 mm narrower than the Vauxhall Mokka-e. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 670 mm of total clearance for the Renault Zoe and about 609 mm of total clearance for the Vauxhall Mokka-e.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Renault Zoe or the Vauxhall Mokka-e?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Renault Zoe and 84% for the Vauxhall Mokka-e. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
