how to charge a Renault E-Tech electric vehicle

charging at home or at work

Your electric vehicle charges on the mains using the various cables available. If you have a 7.4kW or 11 to 22kW three-phase AC charging station, charging will be faster. Without a terminal, charging will be faster and safer on a reinforced socket than on a standard one.

on-the-road charging

Whatever the nature of your journey, your electric vehicle is compatible with Europe's most extensive charging networks, including Plug Inn fast charge and Ionity. These compatible charging stations are accessible via charge pass and can be located in My Renault.
