Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)

Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Renault Megane E-Tech EV60 130hp. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.

Europe

Charging an EV in Europe differs by country. Some European countries primarily use 1-phase connections to the grid, while other countries are almost exclusively using a 3-phase connection. The table below shows all possible ways the Renault Megane E-Tech EV60 130hp can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)

Charging Point	Max. Power	Power	Time	Rate
Wall Plug (2.3 kW)	230V / 1x10A	2.3 kW	30h45m	12 km/h

3-phase 32A (22 kW)	400V / 3x32A	22 kW †	3h15m	110 km/h

† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Renault Megane E-Tech EV60 130hp.

Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%

# Renault Megane E-Tech EV60 130hp: Complete Electric Vehicle Review

Renault Megane E-Tech EV60 130hp Overview

The Renault Megane E-Tech EV60 130hp represents an accessible entry point into the premium compact electric vehicle segment, targeting budget-conscious buyers who prioritize efficiency and practicality over raw performance. This mainstream EV combines Renault’s proven electric platform with a practical 60kWh battery pack, delivering a compelling alternative to petrol-powered hatchbacks. The Megane E-Tech EV60 130hp distinguishes itself through its ultra-slim 110mm battery design—the thinnest on the market—which lowers the center of gravity by 90mm compared to the previous petrol model, enhancing handling dynamics and interior space.

The Renault Megane E-Tech sits at the intersection of affordability and capability, appealing to first-time EV buyers and fleet operators seeking lower total cost of ownership. Its compact hatchback form factor makes it ideal for urban commuting and European markets where space efficiency matters. The electric Megane E-Tech platform features a lightweight 145kg motor—10% lighter than the Zoe supermini unit—paired with advanced technology including a 12.3-inch digital dashboard display, 9-inch infotainment screen with Android Automotive OS, and up to 26 assistance systems depending on trim level.

Renault Megane E-Tech EV60 130hp Performance and Driving Experience

The Renault Megane E-Tech EV60 130hp delivers modest but adequate performance for daily driving, with its 130hp front-mounted motor providing smooth acceleration and responsive handling characteristics. The compact electric motor generates instant torque delivery typical of EV powertrains, making low-speed maneuvers and city driving effortless. While not designed for spirited driving, the Megane E-Tech EV60 130hp offers four levels of regenerative braking controlled via steering wheel paddles, allowing drivers to customize energy recovery intensity from gentle to aggressive one-pedal driving modes.

The front-wheel-drive layout provides predictable handling with minimal understeer in normal driving conditions. The Megane E-Tech’s lower center of gravity—thanks to the ultra-slim battery pack—contributes to composed cornering and reduced body roll compared to traditional hatchbacks. At motorway speeds, the electric Megane E-Tech EV60 130hp maintains a quiet, refined cruising experience with excellent wind and road noise insulation.
