Sales of the Renault Zoe c 2 on the European market will start at the beginning of October 2019 at a price of 27,000 euros, excluding state subsidies for the purchase of electric vehicles. However, it is worth considering that the Renault Zoe battery is offered on a rental basis and raises the initial cost of an electric car by another 49-162 euros per year (the more I travel, the more I pay).
