PARIS (July 23, 2013)-The Renault-Nissan Alliance has sold it
100,000th zero-emission car
Electric cars from Renault and Nissan have driven approximately 84
million zero-emission kilometers - enough to circle the earth mor
than 20,000 times. Together, they represent 53 million liters of oi
saved and 124 million kg of CO2 that have not been emitted
"The age of the mainstream zero-emission vehicle is here,
said Renault-Nissan Alliance Chairman and CEO Carlos Ghosn. "W
expect demand to keep growing as the charging infrastructure develop
and we remain 100% committed to zero-emission technology for th
long term.
Renault-Nissan has sold more zero-emission cars than all other majo
automakers combined
The very first EV from the Alliance is a Nissan LEAF owned by enginee
Olivier Chalouhi in California's Silicon Valley. He bought the LEA
when it debuted in December 2010
The 100,000th customer was American graduate student Allison Howard
who became an owner of Nissan LEAF earlier this month and drives th
car to Kennesaw State University in Atlanta, Georgia
"It just drives perfectly. It's so cool. I love it!" sai
Howard
"The fact that it's all electric and I don't have to spend mone
on gas as a college student, that's great," she added

Renault Europe's leader with full range of electric vehicle
Renault has sold about 30,000 electric vehicles since its first model
Kangoo Z.E., went on sale in late 2011. Kangoo Z.E. was vote
International Van of the Year 2012
Renault leads the electric vehicle market in Europe with a 61% share
including Twizy. Renault's top markets in Europe are France, German
and Italy
In addition to the Kangoo Z.E., Renault also offers Fluence Z.E
sedan; the two-seat commuter vehicle Twizy; and the subcompact ZOE
launched earlier this year
Twizy is Renault's best-selling model with about 11,000 units sol
since it went on sale in early 2012
Renault ZOE has a range of 210 km (NEDC). The car retails from 13,70
euros in France after the government's 7,000-euro incentive, excludin
the battery. Renault began selling the ZOE in March throughout Europ
and has sold about 5,000 units
Committed to a zero-emission futur
The Alliance is the industry leader in EVs and remains fully committe
to a zero-emission future, with vehicles that can be recharged usin
purely renewable energy
The plug-in cars store energy in a lithium-ion battery that meets o
exceeds all environmental and safety standards wherever they are sold
The vehicles can be "topped off" at any charge point, or
they can be fully recharged overnight from the convenience of the
driver's home, garage or parking deck.
In order to accelerate the uptake of electric vehicles around the
world, the Renault-Nissan Alliance is working with government
authorities, utility companies and others to rollout a network of
charging stations that allow drivers to recharge their cars from zero
to 80% capacity in less than 30 minutes.
