Car rental customers to take up electric option?

The final design for Renault’s new electric automobile has been revealed after first being shown at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show.

People seeking an eco-friendly care hire option may be interested to learn that the Fluence ZE is longer than the traditional model in order to house a larger battery.

When fully charged, the vehicle can travel approximately 100 miles and it is expected to be available in the UK for purchasing and care rental from 2011.

Individuals eager to get their hands on the sustainable option have been advised that it is available to pre-order from the manufacturer’s website.

Powering the battery from the mains takes between six and eight hours, however, special charging stations enable drivers to accomplish the same feat in under 60 minutes.

Toyota was recently named as the most environmentally-friendly automobile producer, with Clean Green Cars figures showing its models have the lowest average carbon dioxide emission levels in Britain.
