32A single phase for home, 32A three phase if you use 22 kW AC posts
Look up your {M} and read across
Find your model in the table and the last column is your answer. Each row links to that car's own page, where the charge port position, the battery sizes and the charging times are set out in full.
Five models, all Type 2, and Renault is the one brand here where a three phase cable genuinely earns its money at a public AC post rather than being dead weight.
Why the home figure is the one to read
What a car draws at home and what its brochure says are two different numbers, and the table gives you the first. A house is single phase, 32 amps of it is roughly 7.4 kW, and the gap between that and an 11 or 22 kW headline is phases rather than cable.
Where a three phase cable actually pays
The Zoe's Chameleon charger takes 22 kW from a three phase AC post, and the Q210 and Q90 reached 43 kW. The Megane E-Tech built before about May 2025 took 22 kW as standard. On those cars a three phase lead turns a 22 kW destination charger into a quick top up, which is not true of most of this catalogue.
The Scenic E-Tech carries a twist that catches people out: the smaller 60 kWh Comfort Range takes 22 kW while the larger 87 kWh Long Range is limited to 11 kW. That is backwards from what anyone assumes, and it is the one case where the cheaper car has the better charger.
None of it changes anything at home, where every car here settles near 7.4 kW. The three phase lead is for the car park, not the driveway.
Where the {M} range divides
On a domestic supply the range is uniform: the Zoe, Megane E-Tech, Scenic E-Tech and Renault 5 all reach 7.4 kW, and the 32 amp lead is what reaches that figure. The Kangoo Z.E. sits at 7 kW, and its charger is single phase, so a British house gives it its full rated speed with no derating at all. That is rare enough to be worth stating.
Renault moved the charge port as the platforms changed: the Zoe and both Kangoos behind the diamond badge at the centre of the nose, the Renault 5 front nearside, the CMF-EV Megane front offside. Renault manuals describe positions from a left hand drive view, so "driver's side" in one of them means the offside here, the opposite of how it reads.
How long a cable you need
Two things set the length: where your charge point is mounted and which corner of the car the flap sits in. Get both and the answer is obvious. Guess either and you will either be stretching a lead or coiling four spare metres on the drive.
Front and centre is the friendliest arrangement there is. A nose-charging Zoe or Kangoo parked head in against a wall box needs very little cable; reverse the same car in and you need most of ten metres.
The build, and where to look next
All of these cables share one build. IP67 sealed heads, tinned copper conductors and a jacket that stays flexible in the cold, backed by a two year warranty and free next working day delivery.
Yes, if you use public AC posts. The Chameleon charger takes 22 kW from three phase, which most cars cannot. At home it makes no difference.
Which Scenic E-Tech takes 22 kW?
The smaller 60 kWh Comfort Range. The larger 87 kWh Long Range is limited to 11 kW, which is the opposite of what most people expect.
Does the Kangoo Z.E. lose speed at home?
No. Its 7 kW charger is single phase, so a British house delivers its full rated speed with no derating.
Where is the charge socket on a Zoe?
Centre of the nose, behind the Renault diamond badge. The Kangoo is the same; the Renault 5 and Megane are on the front nearside and offside respectively.
What does a Megane E-Tech charge at on a home wallbox?
About 7.4 kW. That is 32 amps on a single phase, which is what a British home charge point gives.
