Vehicles equipped with Renault E-Tech electric

Driving a Renault E-Tech electric vehicle means enjoying responsive, smooth and quiet driving without producing exhaust pipe emissions. It is a conscious choice that involves changing the way we use and operate vehicles. 

For daily trips, you no longer need to charge your vehicle every day. For longer trips, you can enjoy a driving range of up to 381 miles*. 

Electric vehicles don’t have a transmission like petrol or diesel cars. Not having a big centre tunnel or gear shifter inside the car lets us create a flat floor and more room for passengers.

The UK Government plans to ban all petrol and diesel vehicles in 2035. Getting an EV today has never been easier and will give you plenty of time to immerse yourself in the wonderful world of electric vehicle ownership.

There may be financial benefits in making the switch to electric. While the purchase of an electric vehicle can be more expensive, the operating costs are typically lower. Unlike a petrol or diesel car, electric vehicles have fewer moving parts. This helps reduce the maintenance cost and likelihood of faults.

There are two types of electric vehicle charging: normal alternating current (AC) charging and fast direct current (DC) charging. Normal AC charging is typically less energy-intensive which makes it much slower. When you charge at home using a conventional plug or home EV charger, or even at some public stations, you will be using AC. Fast DC charging can be completed in under an hour and is typically only found at public charging stations.

main types of electrified vehicles are available on the market today: Battery Electric Vehicles, Hybrid Electric Vehicles, and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles. There also are mild hybrid vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles.

Electric (BEV).

Battery electric vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions. Depending on the model and battery pack, Hyundai offers electric vehicles with a variety of driving ranges available.

Hybrid (HEV).

Hybrids combine petrol engines with an electric motor and battery, reducing fuel consumption without having to change your driving habits. The battery charges by regenerative braking.

Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV).

Electric when you want it. Petrol when you need it. And once the electric-only range is depleted, you can plug into a charging station – or just continue on with the petrol engine.

Many shopping centres or public car parks offer specific parking spaces with charging points so that you can charge your electric vehicle. You can also charge at Renault retailers. With more than 140 Renault retailers across the UK all with charging points, you can charge up while visiting.
