Renault has built one of the most recognisable electric lineups in Europe, from the iconic ZOE to the award-winning Scénic E-Tech, with the Mégane E-Tech and the new Renault 5 filling out a range that covers every kind of driver. All four are fully electric and all four use a Type 2 inlet, so one Voldt® cable connects across the entire lineup. The detail worth knowing upfront is that each model carries a different onboard charger, which means the right cable recommendation is not the same for all four.
Voldt® charging cables for every Renault
The Renault ZOE stands out in this group with a 22 kW onboard charger as standard, making a Voldt® 22 kW three-phase cable the natural fit. It is one of the few cars in its class that can use the full power of a 22 kW public charge point, which makes cable choice straightforward.
The Renault Scénic E-Tech and Renault 5 E-Tech both come with an 11 kW onboard charger as standard. A Voldt® 11 kW three-phase cable matches that capacity directly. The Scénic also offers an optional 22 kW upgrade, so a 22 kW cable future-proofs the setup if you go for that configuration.
The Renault Mégane E-Tech has a 7.4 kW onboard charger as standard, with an optional upgrade to 22 kW. A Voldt® 7.4 kW single-phase cable covers the standard configuration, while a 22 kW cable is available for the upgraded version. All four models connect directly to any Voldt® Type 2 charging cable without an adapter.
Cable length is worth settling before you buy. At home, the distance from the wall box to the inlet varies depending on how you park and which side of the car the inlet is on. At public charge points, post positions vary and bays are not always pulled in straight. A 4–6 m cable covers a compact garage setup. Most driveways and carports work well with 8 m. For public charging, shared home points or longer runs, 10–15 m removes all variables.
