Between automatic discounts and CEE grants, the list price of the Renault 5 E-Tech drops from 24,990 to 17,150 euros, a reduction of -32%!
Anti-electric car advocates will soon run out of arguments to justify their preference for a thermal equivalent. They still had two cards up their sleeve: price and range. Soon, both will no longer be topics of discussion.
For instance, the entry-level Renault 5 E-Tech, the 95-horsepower version with an “Urban” range of 310 km, sees its dealership price (see visual below) drop from 24,990 to 20,250 euros thanks to nearly systematic discounts of around 5,000 euros (4,740 euros).
With the addition of the CEE grant of 3,100 euros, the final price lands at 17,150 euros, which is cheaper than an entry-level 65-horsepower Renault Clio. Every kilometer traveled afterward will only increase the cost delta between electric and thermal. Therefore, the price argument is now irrelevant.

The Renault 5 is inexpensive, but…
The question of range remains. With a 310-kilometer range for a full tank costing around 8 euros, this Renault 5 E-Tech seems to meet the needs of a daily urban driver… on paper. But given that the Renault 5 E-Tech is a popular hit, why is this 95-horsepower version so heavily discounted?
There is indeed a reason for this “disinterest” from customers, to the extent that Renault will likely have to revise its approach. This entry-level version lacks fast DC charging, which prohibits long journeys… unless you’re not in a hurry!
Indeed, the charging limit is 11 kW! You read that right. A full charge from 0 to 100% will therefore take about 5 hours, which is perfect overnight, but less so for trips between Lille and Marseille.
After all, you can’t have it all (yet).
