The Zoe EV will be showcased at the 2018 Auto Expo. We expect the upcoming electric vehicle to launch sometime next year. The Renault Zoe EV is on sale in certain parts of the world like Europe where the range starts around €28,000 (INR 21,29,792). Since we expect Renault to import the Zoe EV as CBU, it will attract high import duty leading to an exorbitant price tag.
