Renault and Nissan employees volunteered as drivers and electric vehicle ambassadors for the cars, which were available to COP21 delegates as a complement to public transportation.</p><p>COP21 also resulted in the Paris Declaration on Electro-Mobility and Climate Change Call for Action, an agreement that aims to increase EVs and their charging infrastructure. The Renault-Nissan Alliance signed the action plan, which aims to keep the transport sector in line with the COP21 promise to reduce the impact of climate change.</p><h5>Quick charge stations available for public use</h5><p>Prior to COP21, 90 quick and standard charging stations in strategic locations to recharge the cars. The stations were powered by low-carbon electricity provided by French electric utility company EDF. The residual emissions were offset under an accredited U.N. carbon offsetting program.</p><p>Thirteen of the 27 quick and semi quick chargers installed will remain and are available for the public to use. These include two quick chargers at Charles de Gaulle Airport, two on the principal highway surrounding Paris, and one at Orly Airport. The quick charging stations are able to charge an EV from 0 to 80% capacity in about 30 minutes.</p><p><iframe loading="lazy" width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-PtPwCE_Quk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Golden State (of EV opportunities)

<h5>We hear a lot about recharging infrastructure being vital to speed up the introduction of electric vehicles. But in practical terms, what are motorists’ real needs and uses in this respect?</h5><p><strong>Thomas Orsini –</strong> We have to distinguish between two types of recharging: the main recharging, i.e. the one done every day or almost every day at the same charging point – which may be at the motorist’s home, place of work, or in the street – and which now accounts for 95% of all recharges. And occasional recharges, which top up the main recharging when longer journeys than usual are made, or if something unexpected happens, in which case when the battery can be topped up at a recharging point open to the general public.</p><p>The main recharging is usually done at a private point or socket: at home, making it like a home-based service station. Even so, in 10% of cases, motorists say their main recharging point is at their place of work or in the street. That proportion is liable to grow as companies and city authorities become better equipped, offering motorists an alternative to installing a recharging point at home.</p><p>In addition to main recharging, electric vehicle users carry out complementary or “occasional” recharges at points open to the public. These may be either to make the motorist feel more secure by keeping the battery more highly charged throughout the day, or to cope with the occasional need for a longer journey than usual.</p><p>The deployment of public charging points plays a key role in helping the electric vehicle to expand. The more charging points motorists see, the more reassured they will feel. Moreover, these points will extend the vehicles’ range, allowing drivers, for example, to go away for the weekend 300 kilometres from home, or as a standby in case they have simply forgotten to plug their vehicle into the charger overnight at home.</p><p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="930" height="530" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-10733455" alt="EV-1" src="https://www.renaultgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/ev-1.jpg" /></p><h5>So we have understood that the great majority of electric car users recharge their vehicle at home. How much does installing one’s own private infrastructure cost?</h5><p><strong>T. O. –</strong> In most cases it’s a simple and fairly inexpensive procedure. Moreover, many European countries offer financial assistance.</p><p>In France, for instance, Renault contributes €500 to the installation, which covers most of the cost, and offers a turn-key installation. In addition, the French state has introduced a tax credit that covers up to 30% of the cost, excluding labour charges.</p><p>In the United Kingdom, the government pays the full cost of installing a private recharging point. In Italy and Spain, a large part of the cost is paid for by electric network operators.</p><h5>And if motorists do not have recharging facilities at home, can they still opt for an electric vehicle?</h5><p><strong>T. O. –</strong> That is not the simplest solution, but it is still possible. In some countries, such as the Netherlands and Portugal, 70% of drivers do not have their own parking space (either privately owned or in an apartment block car park), so they park in the street.</p><p>In such cases, a main recharge is made easier by the installation of public recharging points in residential areas, intended for recharging electric vehicles at night. In five big cities in the Netherlands, as soon as a customer buys an electric car, they can apply to the municipal authority to install a public recharging point close to their home.</p><p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="930" height="500" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-9829367" alt="ZOE-2" src="https://www.renaultgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/zoe-2.jpg" /></p><h5>Generally speaking, how fast is the installation of public recharging facilities taking place in Europe and worldwide?</h5><p><strong>T. O. –</strong> Since 2013 the number of public points has increased every year by between 30% and 60%, in Europe and the rest of the world. In 2014 there were more than 100,000 public recharging points in the world – a rise of 60% compared to 2013. In Europe we have to reach 60,000 points by the end of the year. And that figure should be doubled over the next two years.</p><p>In France there are now about 10,000 recharging points, spread over 2,700 centres. The launch of numerous recharging infrastructure projects makes it possible to envisage dense coverage of the country in the very short term, with the number of points doubling by the end of 2016. This network includes both points recharging at “normal” power rates in urban areas and faster recharging facilities on main roads.</p><p>On a European level, we are witnessing the development of “green corridors” like those in the RTE-T (Trans-European Transport Networks) programme, in which Renault is taking part. This is based on the installation of rapid recharging points along motorways.</p><h5>What are the different types of public recharging point, and what are they used for?</h5><p><strong>T. O. –</strong> Public recharging points are intended to respond to specific needs depending on where they are installed. The power available at each point is adapted to the time the vehicle will be parked there. The four main types are 43kW for rapid recharging that fully recharges the battery in 30 minutes on motorways or at fuel stations, 22kW in supermarket car parks, allowing an average shopping time of 50 minutes, 11kW in cinema car parks for at least two hours, and 3kW or 7kW at airport and railway station car parks, etc.</p><p><em>Thanks Thomas Orsini !</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

5 questions for a Renault Expert in EV infrastructures

<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="930" height="500" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-10682872" alt="KANGOO-2" src="https://www.renaultgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/kangoo-2.jpg" /></p><h5>Postal rounds with Kangoo Maxi Z.E. in Norway</h5><p><span>Our Group today, 27 November, announced, that the Norwegian postal service, Posten, has ordered 240 Renault Kangoo Maxi Z.E.s. </span></p><blockquote><p>This is one of the world’s biggest electric vehicle purchases so far</p></blockquote><p>With a range of 170 km NDEC (80 to 125 km under usual driving conditions), Kangoo Maxi Z.E. is well-suited to the everyday tasks of administrations and companies. Posten’s red Kangoo Maxi Z.E.s will mostly be used in areas of high population density.</p><p>Posten, which already has a fleet of 900 electric vehicles (cars, bikes, quadricycles, trailers), is taking a further step forward in environmental responsibility with the purchase of Kangoo Maxi Z.E. It is targeting a 40% reduction in its CO<sub>2</sub> emissions by 2020, a very substantial measure when we consider that this company alone accounts for no less than 1% of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions in Norway as a whole.</p><p>Over the last few years, electric vehicle sales in Norway have been stimulated by a committed government incentive policy. At the end of 2015, electric vehicle sales account for 20% of all new vehicle sales in the country. We can expect to see 200,000 electric vehicles across the country by 2020, which is 10% of all the cars on the Norwegian roads.</p><p>In Norway, electric cars are exonerated from VAT and road tax. They pay no parking fees, road tolls or ferry charges. And they are entitled to use bus lanes.</p><p><span>The Renault electric vehicle line-up in Norway comprises ZOE, Kangoo Z.E., Kangoo Maxi Z.E., five-seater Kangoo Maxi Z.E., and Twizy. </span></p><p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="930" height="500" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-10682869" alt="KANGOO-1" src="https://www.renaultgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/kangoo-1.jpg" /></p><h5>The Electric Vehicle, a real solution to counter global warming</h5><p>Renault is the pioneer of affordable all-electric vehicles, and the only carmaker to offer a full range. Renault sees the electric vehicle as an eminently viable countermeasure against global warming. </p><p>Because it burns no fossil fuel, the electric vehicle emits no CO<sub>2</sub><strong><sup>1</sup></strong>. ZOE emits 0 g/km of CO<sub>2</sub> whereas an internal-combustion or hybrid vehicle of equivalent size emits at least 84 g/km.</p><p>According to the International Energy Commission, with 7 million electric vehicles on the road by 2020 we would save 400,000 barrels of oil per day. Very specifically, without the electric vehicles that Renault has sold so far, an additional 115,000 tonnes of CO<sub>2</sub> would have been emitted into the atmosphere, and an additional 230,450 barrels of oil burned (average per year<strong><sup>2</sup></strong>).</p><p>The Renault-Nissan Alliance is an official partner of the COP21 United Nations climate-change summit, providing a fleet of 200 Alliance electric vehicles, including 100 Renault ZOEs, to ferry delegates between Paris and Le Bourget from 30 November to 11 December 2015.</p><p><em>1/ Zero atmospheric emissions of CO<sub>2</sub> or pollutants under NEDC certification cycle (excepting from abrasion of wear parts).<br /></em><em>2/ Data calculated from figures provided by Comité Professionnel du Pétrole, comparison with vehicle of equivalent category.</em></p><p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="930" height="500" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-10682875" alt="KANGOO-3" src="https://www.renaultgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/kangoo-3.jpg" /></p>

On the way towards a sustainable mobility

<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="930" height="450" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-10652407" alt="ZOE-DE-1" src="https://www.renaultgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/zoe-de-1.jpg" /></p><h5>Electricity wholesale prices fluctuations</h5><p>Electricity wholesale prices fluctuate according to supply and demand. On a windy and sunny day, there is too much electricity production and too little demand. As a consequence, power prices drop. On the other hand, prices can rise drastically when there is no wind or sun. The more electricity production from renewable energies, the higher these fluctuations are. <a href="http://mobilityhouse.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Mobility House (TMH)</a> enables a group of Renault Zoe drivers to take advantage of these fluctuations and charge their electric car at lowest possible cost.</p><h5>11 employees have smart charging stations at home</h5><p>Until now, the drivers – 11 employees of Renault Germany in Brühl – charged their electric cars on domestic sockets at home to a standard household tariff. Since the installation of smart charging stations in the homes of these drivers operated with the technology of The Mobility House charging is fulfilled in an intelligent way. Besides reducing the charging time to one hour by installing a powerful wallbox, the biggest change for the drivers is the reduction of the electricity cost for charging.</p><blockquote><p> The ideal charge plan is calculated in order to achieve the lowest possible cost to fully recharge the car.</p></blockquote><p>When a driver is coming home and plugging his Renault Zoe, the vehicle is communicating its electricity need via the Renault Global Data Center to the Swarm Manager of The Mobility House, where the ideal charge plan is calculated in order to achieve the lowest possible cost to fully recharge the car. The Mobility House is then sourcing the according amount of electricity with its partner GETEC Energy at the wholesale market, no matter what time of the day. The charging of the vehicle is then switched on and off remotely and fully automated. So, Renault and The Mobility House allow their drivers for the first time to take financial advantage of a dynamic electricity tariff.</p><p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="930" height="450" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-10652410" alt="ZOE-DE-2" src="https://www.renaultgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/zoe-de-2.jpg" /></p><h5>Bright future for ZE drivers</h5><p>Smart charging is just the first step.

Smart charging: a fleet of Renault electric vehicles charged at lowest electricity cost

<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="930" height="500" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-10552377" alt="BACKGROUND-1" src="https://www.renaultgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/background-1.jpg" /><h5>How are the climate change negotiations progressing? What are the problem areas? The reasons to believe that this will work?</h5><p><strong>L. Tubiana</strong>: I am still very optimistic, because the preparatory context for the COP 21 is an unprecedented one.</p><p>France officially starts presiding over the negotiations on November 30th. However, because of the amount of work the entire process requires, and because putting into place a new, low-carbon economy is a colossal task, we have been working behind the scenes with Peru, the host of COP20, for several months now.</p><p>On 17 November 163 countries have submitted their “national contributions,” which are their operational roadmaps for reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. This sends a strong signal, one that demonstrates their true willingness to achieve results in Paris. And beyond this, the process of preparing contributions has started real public debate around industrial, agricultural and societal choices in all the participating countries. So, in addition to the national contributions being published, this process has raised awareness in a way that will bear fruit in the longer term.</p><p>There remains the task of working on the wording of the agreement itself, in order to identify compromises and to define together the parameters for a consensus that is both ambitious and universal. Some subjects still lack a consensus, for example practical ways of implementing such a transition, particularly in developing countries. On the financial side, a status report on the financing options available to developing countries was published in Lima. We are on track to raise one hundred billion dollars for developing nations by the year 2020.</p><p>So we have built up good momentum, and all the constituent elements of civil society are actively involved and are mobilising for the COP21, be they industrialists, investors, local authorities or associations. The Paris agreement is already being built.</p><h5> What do you expect from Renault-Nissan?</h5><p><strong>L. Tubiana</strong>: Transitioning towards a low-carbon development model is the only way to limit global warming to below 2°C, but it will require everyone’s participation. We all have to reinvent ourselves, and grab the opportunity—including the economic opportunity—that the fight against climate disruption represents.</p><p>To do this, we must accept the fact that both our future and our present must include low-carbon modes of production and consumption. Corporate companies have a role to play. They can demand that states lay out a clear political course which they can then give their support to, but they can also contribute in concrete ways by taking initiatives independently and voluntarily, (cutting their emissions or choosing to use renewable resources).</p><p>They can also do what many companies have already done, by mobilising jointly with other players to form multilateral partnerships. These coalitions are already yielding economically viable solutions in the fight against climate change; this is the case for the Renault-Nissan Alliance, as demonstrated, among other things, by their efforts to develop electric vehicles.</p><p>There is also the possibility of coming up with new solutions based on more frugal and virtuous modes of production and consumption, like the sharing economy and the circular economy.</p><p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="930" height="500" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-9829364" alt="ZOE-1" src="https://www.renaultgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/zoe-1.jpg" /></p><h5>There has been much talk about inequalities in the face of climate change. Will you be looking at the issue of poverty and how it can affect mobility during the negotiations?</h5><p><strong>L. Tubiana</strong>: Many reports and assessments, the IPCC’s in particular, are unambiguous: climate change is one of the biggest challenges we face in the 21st century. It could wipe out the progress many countries have made in their fight against poverty. It could also disrupt global geopolitics, by exacerbating conflict and causing population displacement in certain areas, or even cause some nations to disappear entirely.</p><p>Poorer countries point out that they had little hand in global warming, yet are its first victims. They therefore ask “rich” countries for financial and technological assistance to help them reach a decarbonised economy. A commitment to raise 100 billion dollars by 2020 has been made, bringing together public, private and mixed funds. <br /><br />For developed nations, the question of inequalities in the face of climate change is also relevant to the issue of fuel poverty. The least fortunate among us often cannot afford transport, which is a handicap for their social and economic integration. We must make a clear shift away from our current development model. COP21 must and will help us to move forward along this path.</p><p><em>Thank you, Laurence Tubiana!</em></p>
