electric technology and motor components
No cylinders or pistons and no exhaust pipe emissions... the motor of an electric car is built based on a set of parts designed to convert electricity into mechanical energy.
The motor uses a current to generate a magnetic field on the static part of the machine (stator), which, as it moves, will set in motion a rotating part (rotor) thus driving the vehicle’s wheels.
Over the last 10 years, focusing on French manufacturing and expertise, Renault has been adapting this technology to today’s and tomorrow’s mobility challenges.

- what's next?
Renault Megane E-Tech electric’s CMF-EV platform
This CMF-EV platform is fitted with a 60 kWh ultra-slim battery and a compact 160 kW electric motor. A fully flat floor, a very low centre of gravity, an optimised weight distribution and a longer wheelbase give the car greater agility and interior space.
what advantages?
Renault E-Tech electric is innovative technology providing a unique and intuitive driving experience.
- Up to 381 miles1 WLTP
- Universal charging solutions: AC 7.4 kW, AC 11 kW, DC 130 kW
- Heat pump and new smart energy recovery system to maximise overall efficiency, and therefore driving range
- Towing capacity (900 kg braked, 750 kg unbraked) and roof box carriage capacity (80 kg)
Renault’s vision for the future
Renault is working on improving the performance of our electric motors. We want to develop more efficient electric motors in order to reduce consumption and therefore improve driving range.
We also plan to intensify production on our French Douai and Cléon sites.
