      ​FAQs

      You can find out more about Renault electric and hybrid vehicles by checking the frequently asked questions below. Don’t hesitate to contact us if your particular query is unanswered.

      Should I buy an electric or hybrid vehicle?

      Close

      It depends what you want from your motoring experiences. Please get in touch with your local Renault Retail Group showroom team to receive impartial advice. ​​

      How long does an EV battery last?

      Close

      At least eight years, which is the length of a Renault battery warranty (or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first).​​​

      How long will it take to charge my 100% electric Renault Megane E-Tech?

      Close

      The Renault Megane E-Tech 100% electric is estimated to take 8–30 hours to fully charge from 0%. The charging time depends on the type of charger used:

      • Using a standard three-pin (3 kW) household power supply for home charging takes about 20 hours to charge from zero to 100%
      • Using a dedicated 7 kW wallbox for home charging takes about 20 hours to charge from zero to 100%
      • Using a rapid-charging (50 kW) public connector, it’ll take approximately 42 minutes to charge from zero to 80%

      Other factors that can affect charging time include: ambient temperature, in-vehicle energy loads, charge restrictions, and charging rates slowing down as the maximum charge is reached.

      Are electric and hybrid cars more expensive?

      Close

      Compared to their combustion-engine equivalents, yes. However, it’s worth considering the savings that you’ll make on fuel bills and overall running costs.​

      How do I get a charger installed at home?

      Close

      First, we'll carry out a home survey and ask about your home and existing electrical supply. Then we'll also check to see if you're eligible for any grants. One of our surveyors will then visit to confirm we have all the right information about your property. They'll then check whether any upgrades are needed and make sure everything is ready for our technical team. Once all of the approvals are in place, we aim to have your installation booked in within 2 weeks.

      For the full installation step-by-step guide find out more here.

      How long does it take to get a charger installed?

      Close

      From arriving at your property to your very first charge, installation takes around 3-4 hours. Our fully qualified electrical engineers will keep you informed and make sure you're all setup on your charger's app. They'll also run you through a demonstration, so you know exactly how it works. We also won't leave until you're comfortable with everything and you know how to get the most out of your charger.​

      How much does it cost to get a charger installed?

      Close

      Our chargers are compatible with all electric vehicles and you can choose between two EV chargers. The Indra Smart PRO from £1,099 which includes VAT, a home survey and a 3 year warranty or the Indra Smart LUX from £1,199 which includes VAT, a home survey and a 5 year warranty.​
