The 40 kWh EV40 was sold elsewhere in Europe and never came here, so there is no smaller battery to work out. Usable capacity is 60 kWh from a 65 kWh pack, and the WLTP figure runs from 280 to 292 miles depending on trim and wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does change is the charger. Cars from launch in 2022 up to around the May 2025 facelift left the factory with a 22 kW three phase charger as standard. From the facelift the standard unit is 11 kW and 22 kW became an option that not every car has. Renault publishes no VIN break, so the honest answer is to check your own spec sheet if the difference matters to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen the three phase cable is worth buying\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree phase ratings describe a supply most British houses do not have, so the working figure at home is 7.4 kW. At a house the 22 kW car and the 11 kW car both draw 7.4 kW and finish together, so for home charging the single phase 32A lead is the buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 22 kW cars are different at a public AC post. Plenty of UK car parks have 22 kW three phase points, and an early Megane with a three phase cable will take the full 22 kW there, filling the pack in about three and a quarter hours instead of nine and three quarters. That is a genuine reason to own the three phase lead, and it is rare: most cars on this site cannot use one anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long a full charge takes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower drawn at home\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 60 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange added per hour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 32A single phase at home\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 26 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, three phase at 22 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.0 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 77 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, three phase at 11 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.0 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 38 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to 3 Pin from a socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 8 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe arithmetic is simple: kWh over kW, 13 per cent on top for losses, rounded to the nearest quarter hour. Miles per hour is worked at a conservative 3.5 miles per kWh. Renault's own 15 to 80 per cent figures are six hours on 7.4 kW and four hours ten on 11 kW, which lines up with the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDC rapid charging is 130 kW across the whole range and is not trim dependent, so a Megane on a motorway is never short of options.

On a right hand drive Megane that is the offside, the driver's side, and it is worth being clear about because Renault's own manual describes it as the passenger side. The manual is written from a left hand drive point of view, where right and passenger are the same thing. They are not here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Megane is 4.2 metres long. Nose in with the charge point on your right and 5 metres is comfortable. Nose in with the wall box on the left, or reverse onto the drive, and the lead has to come across the car, which is when \u003ca href=\"\/products\/10m-ev-charging-cables\"\u003e10 metres\u003c\/a\u003e earns its money.
