Electric vehicle FAQs

How can I optimise charging while on the go?

Charging time depends on your vehicle and the type of charger used. To travel with peace of mind in your electric vehicle, here are the key points to keep in mind:

1. Plan your trip 

To optimise your charging while on the go, the onboard route planner in your Renault E-Tech electric vehicle provides the best route configuration: it takes into account the battery and its range based on the vehicle’s charge level, road conditions and charging-station information (station types and associated rates). 

2. Precondition the battery

This feature is available through the built-in scheduler on Renault E-Tech electric models (depending on the version). Before arriving at a fast-charging station, the system can, remotely, heat or cool the battery to optimise the charging speed. 

3. Charge smartly

  • Choose DC fast-charging stations for long trips.
  • Charge between 20% and 80% to save time and preserve battery life.

4. Manage your costs

Rates vary depending on the operator and the power (billed per kWh or by time). With charge pass, access one of Europe's largest networks and check prices before charging.
