How does it compare?
TAZZARI ZERO EM2 SPACE emerges from the quaint corners of Italy like a Renaissance masterpiece on wheels. With its chic yet robust design, its primed to go head-to-head with contenders like the Renault Zoe, BMW i3, Nissan Leaf, and Fiat 500e.
Range
The TAZZARI ZERO EM2 SPACE boasts a respectable range of 124 miles (200 km) thanks to its 15 kWh battery. However, the Renault Zoe leaves it lagging with a whopping 245 miles (394 km) achieved with a 52 kWh battery. Meanwhile, the BMW i3 clocking 153 miles (246 km) on its 42.2 kWh battery stands as a middle contender. The Nissan Leaf flexes its muscles with 168 miles (270 km) from a 40 kWh battery, whereas the cute and compact Fiat 500e whisks along for about 199 miles (320 km) on a 42 kWh battery. It’s clear, the EM2 SPACE is great for local zips, but perhaps not your cross-country warrior.
Acceleration
With a modest 20 hp, the TAZZARI ZERO EM2 SPACE isnt exactly a drag strip demon. It takes its sweet time to reach its top speed of 62 mph (100 km/h). In comparison, the Renault Zoe delivers a more spirited 107 hp, catapulting it with much more vigor. The BMW i3 dazzles with 168 hp and accelerates with a quicksilver alacrity. The Nissan Leaf produces a solid 147 hp and races up the speedo respectably. Finally, the Fiat 500e produces a peppy 117 hp, leaving the EM2 SPACE seeming almost genteel.
Power
Here’s where the rubber meets the road and, honestly, the TAZZARI ZERO EM2 SPACE cedes ground. With its 20 hp motor, it cruises like a leisurely Vespa compared to the Renault Zoes 107 hp, the BMW i3s 168 hp, the Nissan Leafs 147 hp, and the Fiat 500es 117 hp. Let’s call it what it is – it’s a city cruiser, and it doesn’t wish to be anything more.
Charging Time
Given the smaller battery of the TAZZARI ZERO EM2 SPACE (15 kWh), you’d expect it to charge faster, and you’d be correct – around 6 hours on a standard charger. The Renault Zoe needs approximately 9.5 hours to juice up its 52 kWh battery. The BMW i3, with its 42.2 kWh battery, takes about 7.5 hours. The Nissan Leaf demands around 8 hours for its 40 kWh pack, and the Fiat 500e cycles through 42 kWh in roughly 9 hours. Small might not always be powerful, but here, it shows its perks.
Price
At $22,800 (£18,600, €21,600), the TAZZARI ZERO EM2 SPACE is an intriguing proposition. The Renault Zoe edges up at around $32,000 (£26,000, €29,000), while the snazzy BMW i3 sets you back about $44,000 (£36,000, €40,000). The Nissan Leaf stands at an accessible $31,000 (£25,000, €28,000), and the charming Fiat 500e circles around $33,000 (£27,000, €30,000). The EM2 SPACE’s price tag may be modest, but its one of the most compelling facets of this urban chariot.
