Committed to reducing their CO2 emissions, with the impact of climate change on the long-term habitats of British birds and animals foremost in their minds, the RSPB is taking active measure to reduce the environmental impact of its 300 strong fleet vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Charged using a conventional three-pin 3kW connection, a faster 7kW link or a 43kW AC fast-charger, the award-winning Renault Zoe takes just 30minutes to increase its battery power from empty to 80% charged; and with an urban-setting range of 65 to 90 miles, the Zoe easily covers the operational needs of the RSPB\u2019s headquarter staff.<\/p>\n<p>So, could the Renault Zoe also be the car for you?
