Beat the Heatwave: Stay Cool with the Renault App and Activate Air Conditioning 

.With temperatures predicted to soar up to 40°C across the UK this week, getting into your vehicle can feel like stepping into an oven. 

To tackle the summer heatwave, we are urging electric vehicle drivers to change their habits and cool down their cabins before they even open the door.

Thanks to Renault's smart pre-conditioning technology available via the My Renault smartphone app you can set your perfect climate in as little as three taps. This feature comes as standard across Renault's newest generation of 100% electric passenger cars and commercial vans, including:​

How Does It Work?

By using the My Renault app, drivers can instantly activate the air conditioning or schedule it around their daily routines. Whether it's cooling the cabin right before the morning commute or programming a quick blast before the afternoon school run, the system brings the vehicle to your preferred temperature in just 30 minutes.

Pro-Tip for Maximum Range: Pre-conditioning works most effectively when your Renault EV is parked, plugged in, and charged to more than 45%. Because the app draws cooling power directly from the grid rather than draining the vehicle’s battery, it preserves your driving range, letting you travel further between charges.

Protecting Your Battery Health

Pre-conditioning isn't just about comfort; it also benefits the vehicle's long-term health. Cooling the cabin while plugged in means you won't need to run the air conditioning on full blast when you start driving, reducing strain on the battery and maximizing your real world driving range during extreme weather.

Don’t suffer in the heatwave this summer. Open your My Renault app, tap, and step into a perfectly chilled oasis.
