Renault unveils design for new electric car

Renault with a little help from Japanese partner Nissan has pulled the veil off the design for its new electric car, Fluence Z.E. This electric car’s total costs of ownership will be similar to a diesel powered vehicle. The car is powered up by a synchronous electric motor with rotor coil. With a maximum torque of 226 N·m (167 lb-ft), this car nestles a 22kWh lithium-ion battery in its belly. The car has a drivable range of 60 km (99 miles) and a top speed of 135 km/h (84 mph).

To charge up, the car can be hooked up to a power supply of 10A or 16A, 220V that will have the car juiced up in 6 to 9 hours. We are eagerly awaiting this car’s launch. The new electric Renault Fluence Z.E. is sure to win hearts world over with its sleek, sweet, energy efficient design.
