Mobiwisy tried the new Renault Kangoo E-Tech Electric during a press presentation departing from Ceram Mortefontaine.
Since its first commercialization in 2007, the Renault Kangoo has benefited from numerous powertrain options, including alternative fuels such as bioethanol, LPG, LNG, not to mention hybrid versions. Already available in electric, the Renault Kangoo E-Tech of the new generation was presented to us last week during a press event departing from the automotive test circuit located at CERAM in Mortefontaine (Oise). Here are the photos of the Renault Kangoo E-Tech electric test drive by Ugo Missana for Renault Presse.

A variable range for the Renault Kangoo E-Tech Electric
We tested the French minivan in negative temperatures (-2°C), not ideal for measuring its range, but still interesting to get an idea of the capabilities of such a family vehicle in everyday life. As a reminder, the Renault Kangoo E-Tech is equipped with a 45 kWh lithium-ion battery. It offers, according to Renault, an autonomy of up to 285 km in WLTP cycle or 430 km in urban cycle. These values will be detailed in our next test, but one thing is certain: they will be significantly lower in cold weather.
Under the hood, the electric motor develops a respectable 120 hp and provides 245 Nm of torque. Additionally, the Renault Kangoo E-Tech Electric has three regenerative braking modes (Sailing, Drive, and Brake), which we extensively used on our route in Île-de-France.
What about charging the Renault Kangoo E-Tech Electric?
Depending on the versions and your options, the charging solutions vary: standard equipment includes an 11 kW three-phase AC charger, as an option, a 22 kW AC fast charger allows you to go from 5% to 80% in 2.5 hours, while the Kangoo E-Tech Electric finally offers fast charging up to 80 kW DC (direct current), which theoretically recovers 170 km of range (WLTP cycle) in 30 minutes for its top-tier version.
