Stop wasting energy!
The electric motor offers average energy efficiency of some 90%. This means 90% of the energy it consumes is used to power the vehicle. This is far superior to the 25% offered by current internal combustion engines.
Renault’s new electric power units are made up of four key components: The charger, which receives the current directly from the power socket and adapts it so that it can charge the battery.
- The inverter, which converts the direct current provided by the battery into alternating current to power the motor.
- The motor, which transforms the electric energy into kinetic energy.
- The reducer, which transmits the power to the wheels.
Even when you brake, the motor transforms the kinetic energy released into electricity. As a result, every time you remove your foot from the accelerator, the battery is recharged.
