start year
The intro paragraph says the Kangoo was first manufactured in 1997, but the timeline at the bottom says 1994. Which is correct? Thryduulf 17:56, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

PHEV
A PHEV was also made, same moter as the eletric, but with a 12kW generator. The generator had a manual start/stop on the dash-board. The PHEV had the same top speed and ZEV-range as the EV.

According to some owner of the kango, the gas-usage if not chared from the grid, was 7l/100km with the engine on 100% of the time, and 3l/100km if on 10% of the time. ( The engine do not have an auto-off, and will float-charge when battery is full.)

 * In 2003, Renault produced "Elect'Road," a PHEV variant of its "Electri'cite" Kangoo battery electric van (50-80 km range) with a small gasoline "limp-home" engine able to drive 100 km before refueling. Renault discontinued the Elect'Road after selling about 500, mainly in France, Norway and a few in the UK, for about Euro 25,000. -- http://www.calcars.org/history.html

Incorrect Picture Sub-text
From a lot of research on the internet, I think that the "Combined serial (up to 80km/h) and parallel (over 80km/h) hybrid engine" actually relates to the Cleanova rather than the Elect'road.

The Elect'road, I believe only ever had a 500cc rather than 750cc, and was a serial hybrid only.

Use by the IDF
The Israel Defense Forces, until recently, kept purchasing Kangoos for personal use of its officers and NCOs. I'm not sure exactly what models were bought, and how many, although if someone can find sources related to this, I'd be greatful. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 13:10, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Z.E. vs E-Tech
I am using the convention (supported by Renault marketing):
 * Kangoo Z.E. = the BEV based on the second-generation Kangoo, 2011-2021
 * Kangoo E-Tech = the BEV based on the third-generation Kangoo, 2022+

There was a "Z.E. concept" which was unveiled in 2019 and previewed the third generation.
