For E.Leclerc, the continuation of a comprehensive plan for electric

In 2010, E.Leclerc and Renault built a program for electric mobility based on offers and education: equipment of store car parks in charging facilities from 2011, purchase of Renault ZOE vehicles for employees from 2012, and the creation of "ambassador" clubs in region to promote clean mobility in 2013. As a signatory of the "100,000 charging stations" charter carried out by the Ministry of Transport, E.Leclerc also announced on 12th October its ambition to expand its current fleet of electric charging points to 5000 in 2 years, then 10,000 by 2025.

Dacia Spring and Renault ZOE, two 100% electric urban cars

With more than ten years of experience and nearly 350,000 electric vehicles sold, Groupe Renault is the leader in electric cars in Europe. Renault ZOE is the best-selling electric vehicle in Europe in 2020.

With a range of 395 km in WLTP cycle, ZOE is the versatile compact electric sedan for the everyday commute, as well as for longer journeys. Its charging capacity allows it to recover up to 80km of range in just 30 minutes on most charging networks on the roads.

Today, Groupe Renault is developing electric mobility with its Dacia brand, true to its philosophy of offering contemporary cars that meet the essentials. Dacia Spring 100% electric is a revolution: the cheapest electric city car on the market makes electric mobility even more accessible.

The brand's leadership is confirmed by a market share of 21.6%. These performances are the result of a policy pursued since the creation of the E.Leclerc Movement in 1949: its daily struggle for low prices and a single economic model, based on a decentralized, cooperative and participatory organization. The members of the E.Leclerc Movement, independent entrepreneurs, share the same mission: to enable everyone to live better by spending less, through innovative and responsible initiatives, by practising the lowest prices at comparable quality. Actors of local life, as close as possible to the ground, these members invest in a sustainable way in order to make E.Leclerc centers places that meet the needs of their customers and defend their purchasing power on a daily basis.
