How the Renault Renault 5 E-Tech Techno 52kWh compares to similar EVs on battery, range, home charging speed and V2X capability.
Renault 5 E-Tech Techno 52kWh
Renault CCS
The Techno 52kWh is the sweet spot in the Renault 5 range: 100kW DC charging, a heat pump, and 252 miles WLTP for under £28,000.
Renault 5 E-Tech Evolution 40kWh
Renault CCS
Entry-level Renault 5 if budget is the primary consideration
MG4 EV SE Long Range
MG CCS
Longer WLTP range and V2L capability at a comparable price
EX30 Single Motor Extended Range
Volvo CCS
150kW DC charging and longer range in a similarly compact, stylish body
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.
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.
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.
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.
