Today’s Promotion: -36% on Renault Twingo (€9,260 off)

With limited but sufficient daily range, the Renault Twingo is offered at half price and is worth paying attention to!

There are two kinds of electric car enthusiasts, and both might be interested in this Twingo. Some succumb to the trendy side, and others aim to reduce their travel costs. With gasoline at 2 euros per liter, the consideration is on everyone’s mind.

Today, we’re looking at the case of the Renault Twingo electric, where new car listings reveal discounts “before ecological bonus” exceeding 30%. After applying the ecological bonus, we go beyond 50%… half price!

Let’s decode this listing from a Renault dealership in Saint-Maximim. First thing to look at when buying a Renault is the sale or lease of the battery, which greatly impacts the price. In this case, the battery is sold with the Twingo.

The battery, precisely, is a single size and very limited: 22 kWh, providing an actual range of about 130 km. Sufficient in 99% of daily cases to get to work and recharge overnight at home. With an appropriate charger, recharge times are not so restrictive… again because the battery is very small. On a public charging station, the Twingo accepts 22 kW power, covering 80 km of range in about 30 minutes. At home, with a 7.4 kW charger, full charge will take 4 hours, at a cost of about 4 euros (at 0.20 euro per kWh). A small gasoline city car consuming 5 liters / 100 km would cost about 10 euros (at 2 euros/liter). Over an annual mileage of 10,000 kilometers, fuel savings are estimated to be over 700 euros. To be multiplied by the number of years… Not insignificant. Not to mention the lower maintenance costs as well.

In the case of this Renault Twingo electric, the dealership applies a discount of 9,260 euros. The minimum one could expect for a model closer to the end of its career than its launch. That’s already very good, but there is certainly a significant bargaining margin left, so go ahead and negotiate.

The Renault Twingo, which is essentially an electric Smart ForFour, is also more enjoyable on a daily basis than a Dacia Spring thanks to its generous power of 81 horsepower, compared to 45 hp for the Romanian made in China. It may not deliver an exhilarating experience, but with such a discount, a modern, brand-new city car sold for 13,590 euros with 2 months of warranty is currently unavailable elsewhere!
