Renault Megane E-Tech Electric Esprit Alpine Trim: One Pedal Driving and Bidirectional Charging

Renault Megane E-Tech Electric Esprit Alpine

Renault has updated the Megane E-Tech Electric lineup with key advancements, including a sporty Esprit Alpine trim, One Pedal driving, and a bidirectional charger. These updates enhance both performance and efficiency, making the Megane E-Tech Electric a strong contender in the compact EV market.

Esprit Alpine Trim: Sporty Design and Premium Interior

The Esprit Alpine trim brings a dynamic aesthetic and enhanced comfort. Key exterior highlights include:

  • Matte Shadow Grey paint with matching front and rear splitters.
  • 20-inch Ice Black alloy wheels for a bold stance.
  • Ice Black Renault logos at the front and rear.
  • Gloss Black window trim and Esprit Alpine badging on the front left wing.

Inside, the cabin features:

  • Black embossed fabric seats with blue top-stitching, made from recycled materials.
  • Blue, white, and red badge representing Renault’s French heritage.
  • Black TEP fabric with blue stitching on the dashboard, armrests, and center console.
  • Sporty blue and black theme across the interior.

One Pedal Driving: Efficiency and Comfort

The One Pedal driving system allows drivers to accelerate and decelerate using a single pedal, improving both energy efficiency and ease of use. Key advantages:

  • Reduces brake pad wear, lowering maintenance costs.
  • Maximizes energy regeneration, extending range.
  • Improves urban driving experience, reducing fatigue in stop-and-go traffic.

Renault’s Ampere division developed this system, which will also be used in the upcoming Renault 5 E-Tech Electric and Renault Scenic E-Tech Electric. Vehicles manufactured after March 2024 may receive retrofitting for this feature.

Bidirectional Charging: Powering More than Just the Car

The 11 kW AC bidirectional charger, now standard across all trims, offers increased charging flexibility. Features include:

  • Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability: Power external devices, like coffee machines or electric scooters, using an optional adapter.
  • Grid integration: In select markets (such as France), Renault offers a Mobilize Powerbox Verso and a Mobilize electricity contract for Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) functionality, allowing the car to send power back to the grid.

For faster charging, an optional 22 kW AC charger is available.

Plug & Charge: Seamless Charging Experience

The Plug & Charge function streamlines the public charging process by:

  • Automatically recognizing the vehicle upon plugging in.
  • Starting the charge without requiring membership cards or apps.
  • Managing payments through the My Renault app.

The Mobilize Charge Pass offers access to 800,000+ public charging points across 25 European countries.

Updated Lineup and Pricing

Renault has simplified the Megane E-Tech Electric lineup to three trims:

  • Techno
  • Esprit Alpine
  • Iconic

All versions come with a 220 bhp electric motor and a 60 kWh battery, offering a range of up to 468 km (WLTP).

Pricing in France (converted to USD):

  • Techno – $43,800
  • Renault Megane E-Tech Electric Esprit Alpine – $46,000
  • Iconic – $47,700

Prices may vary by market.
