Renault Fluence Z.E.
The Renault Fluence Z.E. is an electric version of the Renault Fluence compact sedan, part of the Renault Z.E. program of battery electric vehicles. It was unveiled by Renault at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. The Fluence Z.E. is outfitted with a 22 kWh lithium-ion battery which allows a total all-electric range of 185 km (115 mi) measured on the NEDC combined cycle, with speeds up to 135 km/h (84 mph).
The Fluence Z.E. was the first modern electric car known to be enabled with battery swapping technology and deployed within the Better Place network in Israel and Denmark in 2012. A total of 948 Better Place branded Fluence Z.E. cars were deployed in Israel and around 400 units sold in Denmark by May 2013, when Better Place filed for bankruptcy. The Better Place version was built at the Oyak-Renault plant in Bursa, Turkey, like the main Fluence trims.
As the Fluence Z.E. phased out, a fixed-battery version called Renault Samsung SM3 ZE was launched in South Korea. It was one of the most popular electric cars in South Korea in the mid-2010s, with thousands sold through 2017. Global sales totaled 10,600 units through December 2019, mostly composed of SM3 Z.E. units.
While Renault didn't offer the hatchback equivalent based on the Megane III hatchback (which the Fluence Z.E. was based on), they later replaced the Fluence Z.E. with a newer, hatchback-only Megane E-Tech Electric.
The lithium-ion battery had a capacity of 22 kWh and weighed 250 kg (551 lb). For the 2018 model year, the Korean Samsung version received an upgrade to 36 kWh.
The Fluence Z.E. is 13 cm (5.1 in) longer than the internal combustion model to accommodate the battery behind the rear seats. The planned Renault battery plant near Paris that was to supply batteries for the vehicle was delayed due to technical constraints. Instead, obtained batteries from LG Chem of South Korea.
Battery charging capabilities included:
The Fluence Z.E. used a synchronous electric motor with rotor coil, weighing 160 kg (350 lb). Its peak power is 70 kW (94 hp) at 11,000rpm, while maximum torque is 226 N⋅m (167 lbf⋅ft).
