Renault Renault 5 E-Tech Techno 52kWh FAQs

Does the Renault 5 Techno 52kWh have a heat pump?

Yes. The Techno 52kWh includes a heat pump as standard, which significantly improves efficiency in cold weather compared to resistive heating. This is one of the key upgrades over the entry-level Evolution 40kWh.

How does the Techno 52kWh charge at a rapid charger?

The Techno 52kWh peaks at 100kW DC, giving a 10–80% charge in approximately 30 minutes. At a more common 50kW rapid charger, the same charge takes around 45–50 minutes. AC charging is 11kW three-phase.

Is the Renault 5 Techno 52kWh good for longer journeys?

It works for occasional longer trips with planning. The 252-mile WLTP range drops to around 180–210 miles at motorway speeds. The 100kW DC charging means top-ups are reasonably quick, but this is primarily a city and commuter-focused car.

Does the Renault 5 Techno 52kWh support vehicle-to-load or vehicle-to-home charging?

No. The Techno 52kWh has no V2L, V2H, or V2G capability. For bidirectional charging in this price bracket, the MG4 EV is worth considering, as MG has announced V2L capability on certain variants.
