When navigating electric vehicle mounts, some logo names are more vital than others. Tesla is clearly mentioned. Nissan, which has been in the electric vehicle game for 10 years, was also in the press this week after launching its 300-mile ‘Ariya’ diversity. And there’s a lot of excitement around Ford’s upcoming electric truck offerings.
But none of these brands make the electric vehicle the highest popular in Europe in terms of sales. The name is for French car manufacturer Renault and its electric car, the Zoe, according to figures reported through Bloomberg.
For more than six months, the Tesla Model 3 has been the best-selling electric vehicle in several European countries such as Iceland, Germany and Britain, beating the competition. Despite this, Zoe controlling selling more games in total.

In the first part of 2020, Renault sold nearly 40,000 Zoes. The French logo sold just under 50,000 sets of electric cars internationally in 2019. With five months to go, Renault looks like it will break its previous record for sales to city dwellers, which has been developing since its launch in 2013.
That marvels at a lot of people, myself included. The Renault Zoe is an undeniably delicate electric vehicle and its popularity is easy to understand.
However, it has risen to the maximum sense as the most popular electric vehicle in Europe without making any fuss. When her eyes were drawn to the percentage value of Tesla’s roller coaster and sales of the Model 3, Zoe quietly connected and was a universally popular machine.
However, one of the main reasons for its success is its price. Renault Zoe prices start at 32,000 euros ($37,000). Most European governments are offering subsidies of between 4,000 and 9,000 euros, which makes the car as reasonable, if not less expensive, than petrol equivalents.
In fact, in Germany recently, the Renault Zoe recently showed up for rent in Germany and prices were completely covered by government subsidies, meaning the car was on the loose for two years.
It makes a lot of sense that Renault sold so many. Maybe it’s going unnoticed because affordability isn’t as exciting as self-driving cars or speeds of less than 4 seconds from 0 to 60.
