After the combustion engine versions, Renault is launching the 100% electric Kangoo Van E-Tech. A zero-emission model that promises a WLTP range of 300 km and can regain 170 km of range in 30 minutes of rapid charging. After this Van version, intended for commercial use, there will also be a family version of the Renault Kangoo E-Tech.
Initially it was announced that the Renault Kangoo Electric would be powered by a 75 kW (102 hp) electric motor, but eventually the production version of the E-Tech combines a peak power of 90 kW (122 hp) with a maximum torque of 245 Nm. Thanks to its 45 kWh battery, the Renault Kangoo Van E-Tech promises a range of 300 km (WLTP), which would be enough to extend its deployability beyond the city centers and suburbs. AC charging takes 3.5 hours with the built-in 11 kW charger, fast DC charging takes just 30 minutes to regain 170 km of range at the maximum charging power of 80 kW. An optional 22 kW charger for public charging stations is available.
6 riding modes
The Renault Kangoo Van E-Tech offers six driving modes, or rather, two modes and three levels of regeneration when braking. The driver can choose between Normal mode and Eco mode, which limits the maximum speed and available power to optimize the range. In combination with either of these two modes, one of 3 levels of regeneration during braking can be selected:
- Sailing (B1): Limited regenerative braking, suitable for driving on highways and faster roads
- Drive (B2): Regenerative braking as standard, giving the impression of a combustion engine when you take your foot off the accelerator
- Brake (B3): maximum regeneration for driving in heavy traffic or on steeper roads
Belgian prices for the electric Renault Kangoo E-Tech are not yet available. However, deliveries are expected to start across Europe in spring 2022. The model will be produced in France at the Maubeuge factory.
