In reply to Valentin. Different car, different special PID's I suppose. For the Leaf, you may try "LeafSpy" as app ...

Is there a compatibility between the Zoe 40 Kw battery and the Nissan NV 200 40 Kw battery?

In reply to Thomas Lankester. Hi Thomas, Your dealer doesn't know sh... well, is not good informed ;-). All existing ZOE's Q210 and R240 models can be upgraded with a 41kWh battery. Of course a firmware upgrade is needed together with the battery-upgrade, but a good Renault ZE dealer should know this.

In reply to Thomas Lankester.

I made the upgrade and the range is pretty much what you can expect switching from 22kWh to 41 kWh.
When I got my car back (and after a trip reset), it showed 260 km available (I do a bit less because of temperatures and winter tires) .
The new battery may not have its full capacity always available due to temps, and new Zoe might be able to exploit it a bit better. 41 kWh battery seems a bit more delicate than the 22kWh. But hard to compare, and anyway it is compensated by having a new battery vs previous one (90000km}.

Hi, Encouraging thread but my local dealer in the UK has said the oringinal Zoe (mine is 2013) is not configured for the ’40’ battery so it only increases range to 110miles / 180km.
Is this your real world experience with a battery upgrade?

In reply to Alexander J Bonardi. Hi Alexander, The label on the battery says: 41.000Wh. But I am not sure how much can be used of that capacity. It looks like you can use all of it.

Sure! https://www.arendauto.nl/renault/vestigingen/arend-auto-eindhoven
I doubt if they will swap a battery for UK ZOE’s, but you can always try!
Please, let me know the result.

In reply to Harm. Hi Harm, do you know which dealer I can use for this process please? Some contact details would be really helpful. It looks like Renault are not going to offer this in the UK so more than happy to come over and get it done if this is possible.

In reply to Harm. Hi Harm, i still struggle to understand how does the car calculate the range, because using your consumption figure and the new range on your dashboard it would add up to 47.4 kWh of battery. Unless there is some more to the naked eye, have you got some kWh figures from CanZE ? Is it 41kWh or a little more ?
