According to the video, the Renault Megane E-Tech completed the distance of 1,000 km , at an average temperature of 12°C, in 11 hours and 15 minutes .
During the test, the car was charged a total of six times along the way . After the initial 227 km , the average distance between charging stops was 129 km . The 1,000 km challenge is a unique test , which expands our empirical knowledge about EVs and gives us glimpses of what is physically possible by an experienced driver in a country with dense DC fast charging infrastructure.
The average energy consumption of the Renault Megane E-Tech amounted to 243 Wh/km , so it was a bit high. We hoped for at least 10% less energy usage. Another issue is fast charging, which should be slightly better for a 60 kWh battery, according to Bjørn Nyland. On the other hand, he concludes, in most cases, the electric Megane will be used locally so it might not be a big issue.Total time: 11 hours and 15 minutesAverage distance between charging stops:after 356 km
