Now we’re not advocating for anyone one to buy the Renault Zoe, personally speaking, I would not buy a Renault Zoe. However, there is one born every day, a sucker, a “pity the fool” who buys into the whole E-lectric car idealism. We ask where are the batteries for the Renault Zoe being sourced from? Is the Zoe any less polluting to produce than an ICE car? Is the Zoe an ethically produced vehicle? Who actually buys a Renault Zoe?

All these questions pale into insignificance when we, a fair (AHEM!) and responsible automotive blog (AHEM!) have to deliver informative news. because that is our mandate.

We don’t have an editorial mandate, we just exist in a quantum, parallel, space within a space. But this is for that one Renault Zoe owner in the UK.
