The Renault Scenic E-Tech electric alongside these alternatives:
Performance
The Renault Scenic E-Tech electric has a maximum power of 125 kW (170 hp / 168 bhp) and a total torque of 300 Nm (221 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 8.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 150 km/h (93 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 65.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 60.0 kWh, with a 5.0 kWh buffer (7.7%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 350 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the maximum rated range is 450 km (280 miles). Depending on the configuration and options such as wheel size, the rated range can be as low as 429 km (267 miles). Larger wheels generally increase energy consumption and reduce range.
WLTP energy consumption is 13.3 kWh/100 km for the base configuration and 14.0 kWh/100 km for the highest-consumption configuration.
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 130 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 45 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 24 minutes at an average power of 105 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 6–65%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 89 kW over a session lasting about 24 minutes and 45 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 23 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 10 hours and 14 minutes, needing five charging stops from 6% to 63%, totaling 115 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 7.2 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 8 hours and 20 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
Charge Port
The charge port is conveniently located on the right front side, facilitating easy access at charging stations where you park parallel to the charger.
Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
Drivetrain

Brakes
The Renault Scenic E-Tech electric uses disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. Rear drum brakes require little maintenance and pair well with regenerative braking, which handles most deceleration.
The front discs are 330 mm.
Regenerative Braking
Regenerative braking works in two ways: through one-pedal driving, or through the brake pedal using blended braking while coasting.
The system stops the car completely using friction brakes.Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator, choosing between five levels.

Narrower wheels reduce energy consumption and can increase range, while wider wheels can improve traction and handling.
The car has four regular doors and a liftgate.
The power liftgate includes hands-free opening by foot gesture as standard.
There is only one roof option for this model.
A large, fixed panoramic glass roof is standard and extends across most of the cabin. It makes the interior feel brighter and more spacious. The electrochromic glass can tint different sections in multiple patterns for protection from sunlight.
