Renault has confirmed full UK pricing and specification for the All-New Mégane E-Tech 100% Electric, which is available to pre-order now priced from £35,995 OTR, with first deliveries expected later in the year1. The car is the first to use the company's purpose-built CMF-EV platform and the first model launch under the 'Renaulution' plan1.
Three models make up the UK range, all with the same 60 kWh battery and 220hp motor. The entry Equilibre is £35,995 OTR, the mid-range Techno is £38,495 and the UK-only Launch Edition is £39,9951. All three sit in the 2% Benefit-in-Kind band for 2021/2022, carry no first-year VED, and attract a £700 delivery charge and £55 registration fee1.

For buyers without a home charger, Renault's Mobilize Power Solutions offers a Mobilize Home Charger with a smart app that can schedule charging and take advantage of cheaper energy tariffs, installed for £1,170 including VAT, a cost that can be folded into a PCP monthly payment1. Renault also cites a PCH finance offer from £459 per month and servicing and maintenance offers from £5.99 per month1. The Mobilize Charge Pass gives access to more than 7,000 UK charge points1.
Why it matters for households
The Mégane E-Tech is a mainstream family hatchback rather than a niche model, so its pricing sets a reference point for what a new electric car with a quoted 280-mile range costs in the UK. For a household weighing up EV charging at home, the figures that matter are the £1,170 installed home charger and the ability to schedule charging around cheaper tariffs, both of which affect running costs more than the list price over time. The car is not listed as offering vehicle-to-load or vehicle-to-home capability, so it has not been reported as able to power a house. Households comparing home charging hardware can look at the site's guide to EVlink home chargers, though Renault's own unit is the Mobilize Home Charger.
What happens next
Pre-orders are open now, with first UK deliveries expected later in the year1. Renault has not given a specific delivery date in the announcement.
