The world’s first mass-produced, series-built battery-electric car, on sale continuously since 2010, years before most rivals treated an EV as anything but a low-volume compliance exercise.[1] Its name is a backronym: “leading environmentally-friendly affordable family car”. This entry covers the original ZE0 and the substantially redesigned ZE1, which added real range and a larger e+ battery option; the third generation, launched in 2025 as a crossover rather than a hatchback, is not covered here.
