Key Specifications
| Battery (useable) | 60 kWh |
| WLTP range | 450 km |
| Consumption | 158 Wh/km |
| Max DC charging | 129 kW |
| DC charge (10-80%) | ~33 min |
| AC full charge (11 kW) | ~2.7 h |
Charging Strategy for Home Care and Field Service
The 22 kW AC charger is the Megane E-Tech's standout feature for fleet use. A full charge takes about 3 hours on a 22 kW wallbox, making it possible to fully charge between shifts. For daily 100 km routes, charging every second or third night is sufficient. DC fast charging at 129 kW adds about 100 km in 20 minutes for unexpected longer days.
Overnight AC charging (recommended)
Plugging in at a depot or home charger (7-22 kW) overnight fully replenishes the battery. At 11 kW, the Renault Megane E-Tech charges from empty in approximately 2.7 hours, easily done overnight.
Mid-day DC top-up
If overnight charging is not available, a DC fast charge during a break can add enough range. At 129 kW peak, the Renault Megane E-Tech charges from 10% to 80% in roughly 33 minutes.

Estimated monthly savings
€220/month
Based on 100 km/day, 22 working days/month. EV: 158 Wh/km at EUR 0.12/kWh (home charging). ICE: 7 L/100 km at EUR 1.70/L.
Practical Tips
- Take full advantage of the 22 kW AC charger. If your depot or team members' homes have 3-phase power, a 22 kW wallbox makes sense here.
- The Megane E-Tech's low consumption means home charging costs are minimal. About EUR 1.90 per 100 km at home electricity rates.
- If vehicles are shared between morning and afternoon shifts, the 22 kW charger can fully recharge during a lunch break.
- The Megane E-Tech does not support Plug & Charge. Provide team members with a charging card for public stations.
Operational Notes
The 380 km WLTP rated range is nearly four times the typical 100 km daily requirement. The Megane E-Tech's 22 kW AC charging is a genuine fleet advantage, especially for shared vehicles or double-shift operations. The car's low consumption of 158 Wh/km also makes it one of the cheapest EVs to run per kilometer.
