electric technology and motor components
No cylinders or pistons and no exhaust gases... the motor of an electric car is built based on a set of parts designed to convert electricity into mechanical energy.
The motor uses a current to generate a magnetic field on the static part of the machine (stator), which, as it moves, will set in motion a rotating part (rotor) thus driving the vehicle’s wheels.
Over the last 10 years, focusing on French manufacturing and expertise, Renault has been adapting this technology to today’s and tomorrow’s mobility challenges.

powertrains Renault E-Tech electric technology
- the CMF-EV platform
- what advantages?
- and the future?
the CMF-EV platform of the Renault Scenic E-Tech electric
This CMF-EV platform is fitted with a 87 kWh ultra-slim battery and a compact 160 kW electric motor. A fully flat floor, a very low centre of gravity, an optimised weight distribution and a longer wheelbase give the car greater agility and interior space.
what advantages?
Renault E-Tech electric, it’s an innovative technology, allowing you to offer a unique and intuitive driving experience.
- Up to 625 km WLTP with an 87 kWh battery;
- Versatile charging options: 7 kW AC, 22 kW AC, 165 kW DC;
- Heat pump and new smart energy recovery system to maximize overall efficiency and, therefore, range;
- Towing capacity (1100 kg with a braked trailer, 750 kg non-braked) and roof box carrying capacity (80 kg)
Renault’s vision for the future
Renault is working on improving the performance of our electric motors. We want to develop more efficient electric motors in order to reduce consumption and therefore improve driving range.
We also plan to intensify production on our French Douai and Cléon sites.
