Renault exec predicts challenges facing EVs will be overcome soon

Renault built 11,130 units of its Zoe mass-market electric vehicle last year, according to analyst Inovev, much fewer than the 50,000 originally forecast by the automaker. Despite the slow start, Beatrice Foucher, head of Renault’s electric vehicle program, remains bullish. She is confident that solutions are coming soon that will address the lack of public charging stations in Europe and the short range of EVs. She spoke with Automotive News Europe France Correspondent Bruce Gain.
