New owners of the all-electric Renault ZOE will now be able to charge their vehicles at home thanks to a free domestic wall-box from electric infrastructure market leaders Chargemaster.
The wall-box charger allows a full charge in between three and four hours, saving the driver the hassle of having to locate and use a dedicated charging station.
Renault is the only electric vehicle manufacturer to offer a completely free home charging solution, which is also installed free in the customers' home by Chargemaster. A full charge via the weatherproof 7kW (30A) box provides sufficient range for the ZOE to travel up to 149 miles on the official NEDC cycle, which is comfortably more than most electric vehicle owners' daily mileage.
The wall-box offer is only available to customers who have access to off-street parking and an electricity supply. Once the Chargemaster box has been installed, owners can apply for a POLAR Network Card which will allow them access to the UK's largest public charging infrastructure with over 3,000 charging points, so they can charge their vehicle away from home as well.
Ben Fletcher, Electric Vehicle Product Manager, Renault UK commented: "We're delighted to be continuing our unique wall-box included offer, which allows us to ensure ZOE customers have the simplest and most convenient electric vehicle ownership experience. Chargemaster offer market leading technology and is dedicated to delivering great customer service so they're the perfect partner to help us deliver the offer."
