E-Tech electric

Renault’s expertise in 100% electric tech

The main reasons you should switch to electric are:

• Electric vehicles do not emit any exhaust pipe  emissions, fumes or particles produced by combustion.
• They are economical to run: lower maintenance costs, the cost of electricity is generally lower than fuel making it more affordable to run an electric vehicle and this cost saving is exaggerated further if you can take advantage of an overnight low rate tariff, ​ free parking in some cities, access to low emission zones, and more.
• They are pleasant to drive: quieter, reduced vibrations or gear changes, dynamic with sharp acceleration and pick-up.

The range of an electric car's battery depends on several factors, including battery capacity (measured in kWh), the electric motor, vehicle model, weight, and options. External factors such as road type, speed, temperature, and driving style also impact the driving range.​

Renault has integrated innovative technologies to optimise the driving range of their electric vehicles. Features like the heat pump* and preconditioning system enhance efficiency.​

Here are the ranges for some Renault E-Tech electric vehicles:​

• Renault Megane E-Tech electric on techno: up to 285 miles¹ (WLTP)​
• Renault 5 E-Tech electric on techno+: up to 252 miles¹ (WLTP)
• Renault Scenic E-Tech electric on techno: up to 381 miles¹(WLTP)
• Renault 4 E-Tech electric on techno+: up to 249 miles¹ (WLTP)
• ​Renault Master E-Tech electric: up to 285 miles¹ (WLTP)
• ​Renault Kangoo E-Tech electric: up to 195 miles¹ (WLTP)

Tips for maximising range:​

• ECO Mode: Adapts settings to extend driving range
• ​Heat pump*: Reduces energy consumption for heating the vehicle during colder temperatures, maximising range

Switch to electric and enjoy advanced technology and optimised range for your driving needs.​

* Depends on model and version​ 

A vehicle’s charging time depends on:

• The vehicle itself, its battery capacity and the power of the built-in charger
• External factors, such as charging point or socket power and the intensity accepted by the power supply cable

You can check the charging times for each Renault electric vehicle on the charging page.

Good to know: charging time is not linear. Charging speed varies depending on the battery’s charge status and on the temperature. For example, the final 20% will take longer to charge. This is why on a fast charging point, you should avoid charging over 80% on a daily basis. Also it’s better to ensure your charge doesn't go below 15%.

The price for charging an electric vehicle varies between vehicles, home and charging points and depends on the cost of electricity.
To work it out, you need to know:

• Where will it be charged? The cost of electricity at home and the cost in public places are not the same
• When will it be charged? Electricity is cheaper during off-peak hours than during peak hours
• Which electricity supplier is associated with the charging point selected and what contract applies to it? Once again, prices vary
• What model of car do you want to charge? A full charge depends on the battery’s capacity in the same way as a full tank of petrol depends on the capacity of its tank

A few pointers:

With a charging point or an electricity contract, when applying the current average electricity rates of 22.36p per kWh, charging a Renault Megane E-Tech electric costs under £14 for 0-100% charge, and charging a Renault Scenic E-Tech electric long range costs under £20 for 0-100%*. ​

When charging out and about, charge pass allows you to identify the rates applied by the various charging points and can unlock discounted rates, specifically with IONITY. 

*Megane E-Tech electric: 22.36 x 60kWh = £13.42​ while Scenic E-Tech electric: 22.36 x 87kWh = £19.45​

An electric vehicle’s consumption depends on several factors such as vehicle weight, road type and driving style.

These elements are recreated during a European procedure known as WLTP to define consumption and driving range.

Although it is not possible to provide an overall figure for all electric vehicles, an average for each vehicle model can however be given. Megane E-Tech electric consumes approximately 4 miles per kWh ​on the WLTP certification cycle (as opposed to 39 mpg​ approximately ​for a petrol equivalent).¹

It is interesting to note that an electric vehicle’s consumption can be controlled using various built-in technologies, such as the ECO mode.
