Mini Aceman vs Renault Megane E-Tech

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Renault Megane E-Tech has a peak DC charging speed of 129 kW, which is roughly 36% faster than the Mini Aceman at 95 kW. In practice, peak speed 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 10-80% charge (the most common DC fast charging scenario), the Mini Aceman finishes in 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 450 km, which is roughly 100 km more than the Mini Aceman at approximately 350 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 Renault Megane E-Tech consumes 158 Wh/km, compared to 170 Wh/km for the Mini Aceman. That means the Renault Megane E-Tech 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 Mini Aceman has approximately 49.2 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

The Renault Megane E-Tech has the higher peak DC speed at up to 129 kW, but the Mini Aceman actually finishes the 10-80% charge faster at approximately 30 minutes versus approximately 33 minutes. That is because the Mini Aceman has a smaller battery to fill. On road trips, time at the plug matters more than peak power.

For AC charging (home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public street chargers), the Renault Megane E-Tech supports up to 22 kW, compared to 11 kW for the Mini Aceman. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can mean charging roughly twice as fast at those locations.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Renault Megane E-Tech is the more efficient choice at 158 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 450 km, which is roughly 100 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
