How far should a Renault Zoe travel on a full charge?
I've just bought a 2014 Zoe 22kWh with 35,000 miles on the clock. The range is 55 miles at 100 per cent charge - is my local Renault dealer having a laugh when he says that's reasonable?

A 22kWh battery has a limited range anyway. NEDC 70 miles to a max 130miles; realistically 70-80 miles and in the winter that would be significantly reduced. Additionally, the capacity of your 22kWh batteries will have reduced over five years and 35,000 miles.
If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.
