Renault EV Charging Cables

The Megane E-Tech, Scenic E-Tech, Renault 5 and the current Zoe all charge on the universal Type 2 (Mode 3) connector. The Zoe is the one worth a second look: it takes up to 22kW AC, so a three-phase cable earns its keep if your supply can feed it. Very early Renault plug-ins may be Type 1, so check the port shape. Cables here come in 7kW and 22kW ratings with Mode 2 (3-pin granny) options.

Choosing the right cable for your Renault

Renault's UK EV range: Zoe (legacy, 2013-2024), Megane E-Tech, Scenic E-Tech, 5 E-Tech, 4 E-Tech and the upcoming Twingo E-Tech, has a quirk worth knowing: the Zoe was one of very few UK EVs to support 22kW AC home charging. Newer Renault EVs are 11kW max, with V2L on the 5 and 4.

Connector spec by model

  • Zoe (2013-2024): Type 2 + CCS DC (R135 onwards from 2019). 22kW AC on the R135. 11kW on earlier variants.
  • Megane E-Tech (2022+): Type 2 + CCS. 22kW AC. 130kW DC peak.
  • Scenic E-Tech (2024+): Type 2 + CCS. 22kW AC. 150kW DC.
  • 5 E-Tech (2024+): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. V2L 3.6kW.
  • 4 E-Tech (2025+): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. V2L 3.6kW.
  • Twingo E-Tech (2026+): Type 2 + CCS. 7.4kW AC.
  • Captur / Clio E-Tech (PHEV): Type 2, 3.6kW AC.

Zoe and Megane: the 22kW exception

The Renault Zoe (R135 onwards) and Megane E-Tech are two of the few UK EVs that genuinely accept 22kW AC. If you have three-phase supply at home, a 22kW cable + 22kW wallbox charges these cars in ~3 hours: vs ~9 hours on single-phase 7kW. Other UK EVs on the same setup throttle to 11kW or less. This is a genuine Zoe/Megane advantage.

For the 5 E-Tech, 4 E-Tech and Scenic E-Tech (despite Renault marketing 22kW), the AC max varies, confirm with your specific build sheet. The 5 and 4 cap at 11kW per most spec sheets; the Scenic does take 22kW.

V2L on the 5 and 4 E-Tech

The new Renault 5 E-Tech (2024+) and 4 E-Tech (2025+) support V2L at 3.6kW from the Type 2 charge port, same spec as Hyundai/Kia. Compatible with our V2L adapter range. Useful for camping, garden tools, holiday-let backup power.

AC charging speed at home

  • 22kW three-phase (Zoe R135, Megane, Scenic): ~80-90 miles/hour. Full battery in ~3 hours.
  • 11kW three-phase (5, 4): ~45 miles/hour. ~5 hours overnight.
  • Single-phase 7.4kW: ~25-30 miles/hour. Standard UK overnight charging.

Length recommendations

Renault charge ports vary: typically front grille (Zoe, Megane), rear-right (Scenic, 5, 4). UK driveways: 5-10m Type 2 cable covers most setups.

The legacy Zoe DC question

Pre-2019 Zoes (Q210, Q90, R110) had AC-only charging (no DC). The R135 from 2019 added CCS DC support: 50kW DC. If you have an older Zoe, no DC rapid charging is available; plan around AC only.

What we stock for Renault

  • Type 2 cables in 5-30m, 7.4kW / 11kW / 22kW ratings.
  • 22kW three-phase cables for Zoe R135 and Megane E-Tech owners with three-phase supply.
  • V2L adapters compatible with 5 E-Tech and 4 E-Tech.
  • 3-pin granny chargers for backup.

Questions

Will this cable work with my Renault?
Every current UK Renault EV uses Type 2 (Mode 3). Older Renault hybrids or pre-2018 EVs may use Type 1, check your charge port: hexagonal 7-pin = Type 2, square 5-pin = Type 1.
What length cable should I get for my Renault?
10m suits most UK home setups. 5m if your wallbox is right next to where you park. 15-25m for awkward driveway layouts.
What rating? 7kW or 22kW?
Match to your wallbox. UK home wallboxes are mostly 7kW (32A single-phase). 22kW only relevant if you have a three-phase supply.
Do you sell granny cables for this car?
Yes: see our granny chargers range. Mode 2 portable cables work with all current Renault EVs.
How long does delivery take?
