Video Summary
Here are the key points and findings of the electric car review:- The review compares two versions of the Renault Megane: the standard Megane and the Megane ER.
- The Megane ER is a 130-horsepower vehicle with a 60 kWh battery.
- The other Megane version is a 220-horsepower car with a 60 kWh battery.
- There is a significant visual difference between the two versions.
- The ER is primarily reserved for professionals, on the catalogue at least, but can be bought in as an individual buyer.
- The ER has 470km WLTP autonomy, while the higher-horsepower model has around 432 km.
- At the front, the light signature and design of the shield are different.
- The ER model has simpler, grained plastic on the front, as opposed to a black metallic version on the other.
- The ER has 18-inch rims with hubcaps, while the other has 20-inch alloy wheels.
- The interior of the ER version has fabric seats and a clear ceiling, which is different compared to the other Megane.
- Both versions feature optimum charge, meaning they include preconditioning.
- Tariffs begin at 42,000 euros for the "Equilibre" version and can rise to 44,500 euros (Techno trim) and 46,500 euros (Iconic trim).
- The charging ports are the same for the two models.
- The reviewer questions the economic value of having the regular rather than the ER version.
- The motor is identified as a "new generation" model.
- The test was conducted in June, with the air conditioning set to 21 degrees and regeneration at maximum.
- One key difference is that the Techno model, with 220 horsepower, offered more power than the ER.
- Urban/Peri-urban mixed road consumption was 13.3 kWh/100 for the ER and 14.4 kWh/100 for the Techno trim.
- For a mixed run, including highway driving, the air conditioning consumed 0.7 kWh/100km on the ER model.
- The motorway run saw consumption of 17.2 kWh/100 for the ER and 18.5 kWh/100 for the Techno version.
- A code promo for Electra chargers, "MAXBLD" provides 30% off/KWh.
