This is no surprise: by becoming a 100% electric crossover, the new Mégane will inevitably be less accessible than its predecessor compact sedan. But it can count on the ecological bonus to help it and remains rather competitive against the Volkswagen ID.3 or Peugeot e-2008.
Even if some are announcing it for 2026, the price parity between electric and thermal is still far from being a reality. Starting at € 35,200 with a 130 hp engine and a 40 kWh battery, the electric Mégane E-Tech provides a new illustration. Its predecessor, which will continue its career in parallel at least until 2024, is accessible from € 25,100 with a small three-cylinder petrol engine of 115 hp. But the “youngest” of the Losange will still be able to count on an ecological bonus of € 6,000, extended until June 30, 2022, to reduce this colossal difference. Even on a possible conversion premium of 5,000 € for those who have a vehicle old enough to scrapping.
A half-tone standard endowment
![renault megane e-tech electric dashboard](https://www.largus.fr/images/images/renaultmeganee-tech-014_2.jpg)
A 37-month long-term rental offer of € 219 for 30,000 km is also available, with an initial rent of € 10,000 reduced to € 4,000 thanks to State aid. Now transformed into a crossover, this Frenchwoman thus appears competitive against the Peugeot e-2008, which starts at € 36,900 excluding subsidies with a 136 hp engine and a useful 46 kWh battery, or against the Volkswagen ID.3, invoiced at a minimum of € 39,300 with 145 hp and 58 kWh.
The Mégane’s endowment is also a little more generous than before, even if it blows hot and cold at the entry level. The arrival in series of 18-inch alloy rims, 12-inch digital instrumentation, the 9-inch central screen with smartphone replication or the reversing camera “is in fact” paid for “by a regression on the air conditioning, now manual, or loss of the automatic headlight code changeover and the rain sensor.

Four chargers for two batteries

![renault mégane e-tech electric door handles](https://www.largus.fr/images/images/renaultmeganee-tech-030_1.jpg)
To find this equipment, it is necessary to turn to the Techno finish, invoiced 3,000 € more. It also receives a 12-inch central screen with navigation, 20-inch rims or an induction smartphone charger. This Mégane E-Tech also offers two accumulators to choose from: one of 40 kWh and the other of 60 kWh, with a power of 130 hp in the first case and 220 hp in the second. To further complicate matters, no less than four different on-board chargers are available:
- Standard Charge : maximum charging power of 7 kW in alternating current. Only available on EV40 130 hp.
- Boost Charge : maximum charging power of 7 kW in alternating current and 85 kW in direct current. Only available on EV40 130 hp and later.
- Super Charge : maximum charging power of 7 kW in alternating current and 130 kW in direct current. Only available on EV60 220 hp.
- Optimum Charge : maximum charging power of 22 kW in alternating current and 130 kW in direct current. Only available on EV60 220 hp.
The difference is € 2,000 between the Standard Charge and Boost Charge versions, and another € 3,000 must be added to switch to the EV60 battery, with identical equipment. For the Optimum Charge variant, which will only be of interest if you have a Wallbox of more than 7 kW at home or in your company, count 1,500 € more. As an option, a “high performance” charger capable of conversing with the 11 and 22 kW public terminals will also be offered for Standard Charge.

Two versions over € 45,000
![renault megane e-tech electric high-end price](https://www.largus.fr/images/images/renaultmeganee-tech-023_1.jpg)
In its high finishes, this Mégane E-Tech Electric can thus cross the € 45,000 mark, synonymous with a bonus reduced to € 2,000. We then exceed the price of a Tesla Model 3 Standard Autonomy, available from 43,800 €. But the French can count on a much larger after-sales network to reassure certain customers. While offering, like the American wagon, remote updates free for five years, as well as a Mobilize Charge Pass that can be used at 260,000 charging points in 25 countries, with a subscription offered for one year (excluding charging costs). More details will be given when orders are opened in France in February 2022. For now, Renault only allows those who have pre-ordered on the Internet to confirm their choice.
