Renault Megane E-Tech Hatchback

With this EV likely to launch at £30,000 - £35,000, not taking into account any extra specification, expect the best leasing deals to be around £300 - £450 per month (term and annual mileage dependent.)

As a new to launch product, there is little information and feedback available on the Megane EV. The automotive press is rating this at 8/10 from CarWow, 8.5/10 from Electrifying and 3/5 by What Car? The EV60 looks the model to choose, with the impressive performance and robust real-world range; the comprehensive 130 kW DC rapid charge speed is admirable too. Customers also have the comfort that Renault are not a new EV manufacturer having created BEVs in the form of cars and vans over the last 10 years.

The Megane will deliver looks, practicality and, in the case of business and salary sacrifice customers, incredibly low company car tax liabilities. But whether or not the car is suitable will depend on more intricate factors – charging times, seasonal ranges, charging cables, charge point infrastructure at home / workplace. Indeed our “Living with your …” tools do exactly this for you, highlighting the true benefits (or drawbacks) of pure electric driving. To help bolster Whole of Life cost understanding, our amazing website now shows you the cost of a “full tank” as well as a cost per mile for you to achieve complete price certainty on every deal.

Many personal and business lease customers looking for the best offers will often begin at comparison websites like AutoLeaseCompare, CarWow, LeaseFetcher and LeaseLoco. However, very few websites offer you the comprehensive EV analysis which the e-car lease tools do, so we find that our website is fast becoming THE resource of understanding anything BEV-related. And customers have complete comfort that they are getting great value as the prices we show are the most competitive from the select finance companies we work alongside (we are a credit broker not a lender). Should you buy or lease the Megane E-tech? Compare this yourself by heading to your local retailer to get a test-drive and for a PCP or HP quotation.

At the time of writing (May 2022) the cheapest model to select is EV40 96kW Equilibre 40kWh Boost Charge 5dr Auto at just over £30,000. The Megane should be reasonably priced in UK and this should make it equally popular with both personal and business customers

Where many customers get nervous is on the subject of range. While we do stress that charging times are of equal importance, we do understand for high-mileage and company car users, that range must be suitable for their needs and requirements. For the EV40 this will have a motorway range of 105 miles and city-driving of around 150 miles in colder climates. The warmer temperatures should increase this to 140 miles on motorways and city-driving of around 230 miles. The bigger-battery EV60 should deliver a motorway range of 155 miles and city-driving of around 215 miles in colder climates on a full charge. The warmer temperatures should increase this to 205 miles on motorways and city-driving of around 330 miles.
