Geotab light-car average (not Zoe-specific)

How we got this: No Zoe-specific yearly degradation figure found (Zoe data found was per mileage or single owner readings, which cannot be turned into a yearly rate). Geotab's light-car average is 2.0%/yr (fleet average 2.3%/yr across 21 make-models).

Geotab light-car average (not Zoe-specific)

How we got this: Our calculation: 100% minus 2% a year (the wear rate above), never below 50%.

Renault UK 2019 brochure estimate for the ZE40

Quote: Renault estimates average real world driving figures for this vehicle as 186 miles in summer and 124 miles in winter, depending on the factors above.

How we got this: Our calculation from Renault's own summer and winter estimates: (186 - 124) / 186 = 33%. The summer figure equals the 186-mile WLTP rating, so the loss is shown against WLTP.

Renault UK warranty for owned ZOE i traction batteries, registrations from February 2018

Quote: ZOE i: 8 years or 100,000 miles or below 66% minimum battery capacity (whichever comes first).

How we got this: Applies to owned-battery (ZOE i) cars registered from 1 February 2018. Cars registered before then had 5 years / 60,000 miles / 70% (Renault UK terms before February 2018); those have expired either way by 2026. A hired battery is covered by the hire agreement instead (see the warning).

Renault UK manufacturer estimates for the ZE50 R110 and R135

Quote: Renault estimates average real-world driving figures for this vehicle as 233 miles in summer and 150 miles in winter

How we got this: Our calculation from Renault's own summer and winter estimates: (233 - 150) / 233 = 35.6%. The summer figure (233) is below the WLTP rating, so the loss is shown as a % only, not as winter miles.
