Twenty-five years after launching in the small commercial segment for recreational use, the Renault Kangoo is going 100% electric with its E-Tech version. It mounts a 120 CV motor and a 45 kWh battery. This 5-seater model offers an electric range of 285 km, or 430 km in urban cycle. Its price from 39,204 euros.
The brand has indicated that the batteries have a guarantee of eight years or 160,000 kilometers, an interval in which the company will replace it free of charge. if your capacity degrades below 70% of its capacity.
Likewise, if the battery is connected to an 11-kilowatt charging point, it can go from 15% to 80% in two hours and forty minutes, while if it is plugged into a 7.4-kilowatt charging point, the same process takes about six hours.
The driver can choose between three recuperative braking modes: Sailing (B1): limited regenerative mode, adapted to driving on highways and expressways. Drive (B2): default regenerative mode for versatile use, with a sensation of deceleration similar to that of a vehicle with a thermal engine. Y Brake (B3): maximum regenerative mode, for use in traffic jams and on mountain roads.
The different combinations ‘driving modes / braking modes’ thus offer the driver the possibility to choose between 6 types of driving different to optimize comfort and autonomy depending on their use and traffic conditions.
To recharge the battery, the 100% electric Renault Kangoo E-Tech has two types of chargers, to be chosen by the customer: An 11 kW three-phase AC charger, adapted to all types of domestic charging. A 22 kW AC fast charger that allows you to go from 5% to 80% in 2 and a half hours and an 80 kW DC charger that allows you to recover 170 km in about 30 minutes.

It offers great modularity and three individual seats in the rear seats
Associated with the 22 kW charger, the battery has a liquid cooling system and an electrical resistance that allows it to be used in the appropriate temperature range to optimize its autonomy and reduce charging time.
Through the MyRenault smartphone application or the Renault Easy Link multimedia system, the New 100% electric Kangoo E-Tech has specific connected services such as battery charge programming and remote monitoring of its charge status; the programming of the thermal preconditioning of the passenger compartment; search for charging points located on the scheduled route and calculation of accessible destinations with the remaining battery life.
On the other hand, the Kangoo E-Tech It has a trunk of 950 litersalthough it can be expanded to 2,500 liters because the rear bench can slide up to 14 centimeters.
