Charging Speed
The Renault Megane E-Tech has the higher published DC charging figure at 129 kW, which is roughly 29% higher than the Citroën e-C4 at 100 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.
For the published fast-charge window, the Citroën e-C4 is listed at about 30 minutes, which is 3 minutes quicker than the Renault Megane E-Tech at 33 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The Renault Megane E-Tech has a WLTP rated range of approximately 468 km, which is roughly 48 km more than the Citroën e-C4 at approximately 420 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.
Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Citroën e-C4 consumes 156 Wh/km, compared to 158 Wh/km for the Renault Megane E-Tech. That means the Citroën e-C4 uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.
A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Renault Megane E-Tech has approximately 60 kWh of useable battery , while the Citroën e-C4 has approximately 50.8 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
The Renault Megane E-Tech has the higher published DC figure at up to 129 kW, but the Citroën e-C4 has the shorter published charge time at approximately 30 minutes versus approximately 33 minutes. On road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.
Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Citroën e-C4 is the more efficient choice at 156 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the Renault Megane E-Tech has a WLTP rated range of approximately 468 km, which is roughly 48 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
