Renault invests over $1 billion to accelerate electric vehicle production in France

What do they mean by "and the launch of a new ZOE at Flins"? Is that the next-gen or newest gen?

As it is "a new plan" I highly doubt it's about the R110. The R110 is probably mostly software tweaks anyway with no or extremely limited hardware changes (my speculation). :unsure:

CCS is a different ball game. It's not particularly hard, but integrating it in the Chamelion is a substantial job involving serious cable rerouting, new contactors and busbars, serious software overhaul. Probably a complete redesign of the PEC. And it includes a nose job too ;)

Fantastic news they are increasing, doubling production volume and tripling motor volume. Meaning more of those will find their way in other cars. (y)

Being a techy, I am more intrigued by the "New generation motor". Would they abandon the externally excited synchronous motor and transition to a permanent magnet one? Interesting times ahead!! :sneaky:

PS and unrelated: I never knew Flins assembled Micra's. I thought that was ZOE and Clio only. My bad, or it's also new info.
