Choosing an electric car means, above all, choosing the one that fits your daily needs. To help you make the right choice, here are the main criteria to consider:

Daily mileage and road type
If you mainly make short or city trips, range will be less of a factor. If you regularly drive long distances or on the highway, opt for a longer range, as higher speeds will increase energy consumption.

Your need for space and comfort
How many passengers will you be carrying? Do you need a car with a large boot? Renault offers a wide range of models: city cars, family cars, leisure activity passenger vehicles… to suit every profile.

Your charging solution
Can you install a charging point at home? Do you have access to a charging point at work or near your home?

*These elements are essential for choosing between charging at home (AC) or charging at public stations (DC). The more access you have to nearby charge solutions, the more flexible you can be about the vehicle’s driving range.

Switching to electric means enjoying a new way of driving that’s both more enjoyable and more economical for everyday use.

Comfort and driving pleasure
Electric cars offer a quiet ride, free of vibrations and odours, with immediate and smooth acceleration. With the automatic gearbox and the one-pedal function*, driving becomes simpler and calmer, especially in towns. The driving experience is enhanced by the absence of gear shifts and the engine’s smooth operation.

Cost savings over time
Maintenance is reduced (fewer wear parts), electricity costs are lower than fuel costs, and you may be eligible for government subsidies. In some cities, parking may even be free or at a reduced rate.

New uses and innovative services
With V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) and V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) technologies, your car can power electrical appliances or even help reduce demand on the power grid, which can help you save even more on your electricity bill.

Safety and peace of mind
To ensure pedestrian safety, an audible warning signal sounds automatically at low speeds. This way, everyone benefits from safer driving.
In short, selecting electric means opting for modern mobility that is simpler, more economical, and geared towards new uses.

You can charge your electric vehicle wherever you need to:

At home

At work
More and more companies are providing charging stations for their employees. Check with your employer.

On the road
Access a wide network of public charging points: there are two types of charge.
AC (alternating current) charging: ideal for extended stops (car parks, shopping centres).
DC (direct current, or “fast” ) charging: perfect for quickly restoring range during a long trip.
Save time with the rapid charging points located on main roads.

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.

* Good to know: Charging time is not linear; it varies depending on the battery’s charge level and temperature. For example, the final 20% will take longer to charge. That is why it is recommended to charge before the battery level drops below 15% and to avoid charging to more than 80% on a daily basis or at a fast-charging station.

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 therefore 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 for home use is cheaper during off-peak hours than during peak hours.
Which home electricity provider is associated with the selected charging station, and which plan 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 tips:
With charge pass, identify the rates charged by different charging points and easily access one of Europe’s largest networks of public charging stations.
Off-peak hours are usually between 9.30 pm and 7.30 am and between 12 pm and 4 pm.

There are several ways to charge your electric vehicle:
Installing a home charging station:

1. At home
Renault helps you with your project to install home charging solutions. Order your home charging solutions at the dealership when you purchase your new all-electric Renault E-Tech.

2. In an apartment building
In a private car park: If you have a designated parking space in your building, you may want to consider installing a charging station. By notifying the property manager. Or, if your apartment building committee has selected an operator to install and manage the charging stations following a decision at a general meeting, all you need to do is contact the operator to have your charging station installed.
Charging at public stations: Public charging stations are becoming increasingly common in cities, often located on streets near residential areas. These charging stations can be accessed using a subscription card, such as charge pass, or a mobile app.

Comme la plupart des appareils électriques que vous avez chez vous, une voiture électrique se charge sur secteur à l’aide d’un câble. Fourni avec la voiture, ce câble peut donc être branché à votre domicile sur une borne de recharge domestique ou bien sur une borne dite publique. Avec un câble disponible en option, vous pouvez charger sur une prise électrique.

Le côté technique :
une borne domestique (ou une prise renforcée)
des câbles adaptés dits de “type 2” ou bien Flexicharger (pour le cas d’une prise domestique renforcée).

Les conseils pratiques :

au quotidien nous vous conseillons de recharger votre véhicule jusqu’à 80% pour optimiser le temps de charge et améliorer la longévité de la batterie. Planifiez uniquement une recharge à 100% avant vos longs trajets afin d’assurer une autonomie maximale sur la route;
déplacez-vous plus sereinement avec votre carte de recharge charge pass, il donne accès au meilleur réseau de recharge européen.
