the advantages of a Renault E-Tech electric vehicle

cost-effective

Electric vehicles are less expensive to run, with electrical energy costing less than fuel. Maintenance is also up to 30% cheaper on an electric vehicle due to its simpler design.

driving comfort

Driving an electric car gives you undeniable comfort. Dynamic pick-up and smooth, silent acceleration for a relaxed drive.

environmentally friendly

The electric car does not pollute during use. As it doesn’t use any fossil fuels, CO₂ emissions and atmospheric pollutants are significantly reduced throughout its life. Emissions come solely from the vehicle’s manufacturing.

cost-effective

The running costs of an electric vehicle are on average three times lower than with a combustion-powered vehicle.


With a full charge costing less than a tank of fuel for a combustion-powered vehicle and the possibility of receiving government incentives, the electric vehicle is the most cost-effective choice for your daily life.


To travel 100 km, an electric motor consumes between 15 kWh and 20 kWh, i.e. around €4 (with an average cost of €0.25/kWh in Europe).


For the same distance, a combustion-powered vehicle will consume on average 6.5 litres, i.e. an average cost of €12.50 if the fuel price is €1.90 per litre.

purchasing incentives (to be localised)

The eco bonus (up to €5,000 for a passenger car and €6,000 for a light commercial vehicle in France), the conversion bonus and other regional incentives depending on your place of residence, can be applied during the purchase of a fully electric car.

reduced maintenance costs

An electric car does not have an oil filter, belts or spark plugs. The motor is simpler and contains fewer parts.

So maintenance of an electric vehicle is up to 30% cheaper than that of a combustion-powered vehicle (over the first 3 years).

easier resale

The electric car is a reliable vehicle with a battery that can keep going for many years with extensive mileage. Our batteries are guaranteed for 8 years or 160,000 km. It is also a much sought-after vehicle in the current market and is easy to resell.

an investment for businesses (to be localised)

In addition to the practical and environmental advantages, the fully electric company car also has an economic interest.

 

Tax benefits, lower taxes in many countries, fewer charges, reduced insurance premiums, and more. In short, a smart investment for your company.

silent and dynamic

Driving an electric vehicle offers high-performance, smooth driving, with no vibrations, odours or motor noise.

silence on the road

The electric motor makes no noise. With no annoying noises in the cabin, you can relax and enjoy your vehicle even more!

performance on the road

Electric vehicles provide a more responsive start-up and more dynamic pick-up than combustion-powered vehicles.

Sharp acceleration and no gear changes make for a smooth and pleasant drive.

smoothness on the road

The one‑pedal function allows you to manage both acceleration and deceleration using a single pedal. Transitions feel natural and controlled, enhancing comfort on every journey.

environmentally friendly

With no CO2 emissions during use and using renewable energies and recyclable batteries, the electric vehicle is a vehicle of the future.

consumption

When you slow down or stop, the electric vehicle does not consume any energy unlike a combustion-powered engine that can consume up to 1 L/h.

In addition, with around 90% efficiency and energy recovery during braking, the electric motor will be much more cost-effective during the multiple stop-start phases in traffic jams.

emissions

None. Zero emissions during use. No CO2 or atmospheric pollutants* harmful to your health.

By displaying a special electric vehicle sticker, you can drive during pollution peaks.

*in accordance with the WLTP certification cycle

renewable energy

An electric car can run on 100% renewable energy.

There are plenty of really environmentally friendly ways of charging your electric vehicle: a green electricity supplier for your home charging points, a public charging point supplied by renewable energy, or energy produced by photovoltaic equipment.

second life and recycling

An electric car’s battery has several lives. The second life of a battery starts on average after 10 to 15 years or when it drops below 70% of its charge capacity. It can then be used, for example, to store the energy produced by wind turbines. The last stage of a battery’s life is recycling. All of these stages are from the Refactory project implemented in the first factories dedicated to the circular economy (Flins in 2021 and Seville since 2023).
