The French-designed Renault ZOE electric car is already available for purchase in one of the strongest electric vehicle markets worldwide, Norway.

The rather inconspicuous-looking little vehicle was given something of your grand welcome on March 25th in the Olympic stadium in Oslo. The event was even attended by the French ambassador and Norway’s environment minister.

With the launch, 15 of the ZOEs were readily available for test-drives on the athletics tracks, and a number of workshops were put together to be able to showcase the features of Renault’s new (to Norway) electric car. Particularly, a how-to on the “Chameleon” charging system was included. Reportedly, people were waiting in long queues for the chance to give the ZOE a go, and more than 100 test drives were given out during the day.
