Renault presented the official photos of the serial (!) Versions of its two electric cars. One of them is based on a sedan Fluence (it is called Fluence ZE), and a second set of the "Heel» Kangoo.
Renault Fluence ZE was little more than a standard sedan, the length increased immediately by 130 mm (width increased by 4 mm). But that's not the size. The matter power plant. In the motion Fluence ZE is using an electric motor that receives power from a lithium-ion batteries, which weigh 250 kilograms (they are behind the back of the couch and hold luggage - its volume decreased from 530 liters to 300 liters).
