The five-seat Fluence ZE will go on sale in 2011, when the UK government is making grants of up to £5k available to EV buyers.
The car boasts low-resistance tyres and is powered by a 95bhp electric motor and a lithium ion battery, with a range of 100 miles.
The battery can be charged using one of three methods: a standard charge of between four and eight hours, a quick charge of 20 minutes, or a three-minute battery swap using the 'Quickdrop' system.
The car’s 21-inch wheels have blue hubcaps to create a spiral, channelling the air and improving aerodynamics.
The Fluence will be the first Renault electric car to be introduced in 2011 and will be available in Europe and Israel.

Better Place founder Shai Agassi announcing Better Place's newly expanded agreement with Renault that commits both companies to a volume of at least 100,000 electric cars in Israel and Denmark by 2016:

Given that it's electric and French should they have called the E Fluence?

Mr Benevolent

No doubt based on the Leaf I take it.

Good thing we're not actually getting the normal megane saloon here, just this electric thing possibly.

The old model saloon is definitely better looking
