Given that it only takes a couple of people to object to adverts to get them banned...?  rubschin:

Lets have a go - advertising standards authority!

Zero emissions is clearly a lie unless it is charged up from... um, well.... nope. A LIE!

Ahh, but Renault's point is that YOU whilst actually in the act of driving, are not emitting anything! The fact that three times as much CO2 was released creating the power that you 'downloaded' is entirely irrelevant.

Gallic logic for you.

I expect it only uses CO2-free, Froggy Nuclear electric, not that nasty dirty gas or coal type electric.

Being a Renault, you have to ask. Will it break down before the batteries go flat ?
