Renault has unveiled a new electric car, she said, to overcome the psychological barriers among drivers who fear running out of power between charges.
Launched on Thursday before the Paris Motor Show, the latest model Zoe has the longest range of any electric vehicle public, the French automaker said.
Comparisons will inevitably be drawn with Tesla whose US headquarters, whose models correspond 250-mile battery 400 km from Zoe, but Renault said it was competing for a different market Most mainstream electric cars like those of BMW and Nissan, a range of 100-150 miles.
We break the psychological barriers with range 186 miles 300 km, expected range of the car in a suburban environment is a real threshold in the minds of the people, said Eric Feunteun, vice president of the Renault electric vehicle program.
We offer the same range as Tesla for a price quite different, I don t see Tesla as a problem; Tesla is a good thing because they create a good image for electric vehicles and because people like to have choices.
Electric cars could be loaded into the Shell stations from 2017.
The battery of the car, made in partnership with LG, nearly twice the capacity, uses different chemistry and weighs twice as much as the battery in the original Zoe, who had a range of 149 miles.
This is a real breakthrough, says Feunteun It is simple enough to understand, but not simple to two times more energy in the same box.
He said that although some countries, like the UK, reduced their subsidies for greener cars, pressures like climate agreement in Paris meant more governments poured even more money in support.
At this point, in 2016 the incentives are growing in Europe Germany began, part of Belgium has begun We have not yet reached the highest point of incentives, Feunteun added.
There are now about 1 26m electric cars worldwide in 2009 against 6000 Feunteun said the growth has been robust because of customer satisfaction with the vehicle and because technological advances have produced more quickly than expected.

But a report released this week by the European Environment Agency warned that even if a serious deployment cars could greatly contribute to EU efforts to fight against air pollution and climate change, it would also put the focus on power systems.
It is true and not true, it is true if you say that all cars move tomorrow to electric charge and all at 7am, said Feunteun.
But the reality is that today, for power companies, electric cars are an opportunity to help the electricity network of the store and regulate With the growth of unstable intermittent sources of energy such as energy wind and solar, you need a buffer behind, and electric cars can be these buffers.
The new Zoe will be delivered to UK drivers in November and is expected to sell about 17,000 Saturday after a government subsidy 4.500 The Tesla Model S, which has a range of 248 similar mile, sells for 53,500 more.
