Charging Strategy for Last Mile Delivery
Plug in at the depot each evening using an 11 kW or 22 kW AC charger. With the standard 11 kW charger, a full charge takes about 4-5 hours. On heavy delivery days, a midday DC top-up at 80 kW adds about 60 km in 15 minutes. Keep the daily charge target at 90% unless you know the route will push close to the range limit.
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 Kangoo E-Tech charges from empty in approximately 4.1 hours, easily done overnight. For faster turnaround, a 22 kW charger is recommended.
Mid-day DC top-up
If overnight charging is not available, a DC fast charge during a break can add enough range. At 80 kW peak, the Renault Kangoo E-Tech charges from 10% to 80% in roughly 39 minutes.

Estimated monthly savings
€315/month
Based on 150 km/day, 22 working days/month. EV: 196 Wh/km at EUR 0.12/kWh (depot charging). ICE: 7 L/100 km at EUR 1.70/L.
Practical Tips
- If running double shifts, the optional 22 kW onboard charger is a worthwhile investment for faster turnaround.
- The Kangoo E-Tech has no battery preconditioning. In cold weather, expect DC fast charging to be noticeably slower.
- Assign routes based on actual distance, not just number of stops. Short stops in dense areas use less range than spread-out suburban routes.
- Use eco mode for city driving to extend range by 10-15% on busy delivery days.
Operational Notes
The 230 km WLTP rated range covers the typical 150 km delivery day with enough buffer for detours. Payload of 600 kg is sufficient for small parcel deliveries. For heavier loads, consider a larger van. The Kangoo does not have battery preconditioning, so plan for slower DC charging in winter.
