A new owner's guide to the Renault Kangoo ZE electric van. If you are a new owner of a Renault Kangoo ZE33 33kWh (or the older ZE22 22kWh) electric van, this video will show you the basics on how to operate and use your new EV, such as starting, driving and charging.

Thank you. It's great to see these early "pioneer" EVs and to see them working well.

Thankyou for all your content, I’ve just today purchased kangoo ev and love it brought a smile to my face not sure I’d purchased it without your knowledge I’ve gained.
Thanks

I just hit 40, 000 miles in my Kangoo today... but still people tell me EVs will never catch on😂

Very interesting!! They used to be converted to campers, but aren’t anymore!! It’s a good little van, which is also produced as an estate car for the Renault Zoe!!

I used to drive a 2013 model in a previous job, must have had the 22k/WH battery as it only had about 50 miles of range on a good day but was great fun to drive, all seems very basic now compared to new EV's.

Hi, thanks for such a comprehensive video. I've just bought a 2012 kangoo 22kwh, can you recommend a budget domestic charger that will support delayed charging to take advantage of my cheap electricity. I realise there is no scheduler in the van and once it goes to sleep it won't wake up to charge, so i guess something that runs the low volt pilot briefly every 30 mins to keep the van awake?

Hi there, I was wondering please where there VIN is located on these e kangoos thanks?

[xsbxsbxsb]

Thanks for the well thought out, concise and informative videos which are helping me get used to the car before I start driving it!
I have 2 commute options, one over a big hill, one via a motorway. Which would you go for? I'll try both and report in a week or two.

Does it still charge if I unlock the locking pin?

[David-blbt]

A very comprehensive video.

Is 130 mile range really achieveable in the real world?

How much does the battery degregate over time? Is there any guarantee of battery performance by renault?

Interesting to learn hmthat the plug isnt powered until plugged into the vehicle, i didn't know this

[VintageMopeds]

Question is there a software update for the 22kw Kangoo bms like the zoey ?

[shelleythompson]

Can you upgrade a ZE22 22kwh battery to a 33kwh battery? Thank you

[benellis]

My dad has one of these. When he sets an overnight charge schedule via the charger it doesn't work. It works fine when set to plug and charge in the charger. Do you know what could cause this? I'm not sure if the van itself has scheduled charging.

[Icgotmoves]

Is it worth using 3 pin charger or buying full 7kwh charger? I do around 4k miles a year

[simonnicholls]

Currently doing 18k a year in mine, basic vans but more than capable for the job.

[TheRealSimpsons]

Quite simply the worst EV in History. No regen, basic outdated and pathetic range, horrible in winter and battery depletes at an alarming rate. AVOID. Needs at least 10 hours to charge.
