Renault Scenic E-Tech
Charging curve · consumption · motorway range
The Renault Scenic E-Tech has 87 kWh of usable battery and peaks at 150 kW on a DC charger. In this app's model it uses about 194 Wh/km at a steady 100 km/h and 286 Wh/km at 130, so 48% more energy per kilometre buys you 30 km/h more speed. Weigh that against a 40-minute 10-80% charging stop and you have the whole question of how fast to drive.

DC charging curve
Charging power against state of charge, on a charger fast enough not to be the limit. Peak power is 150 kW, but it has halved by about 61% state of charge. That is why a short stop low down the curve usually beats a long one near the top.
How long a stop takes
| Charge from | Time | Energy added | Average power |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10% to 80% | 40 min | 60.9 kWh | 92 kW |
| 20% to 80% | 36 min | 52.2 kWh | 86 kW |
| 10% to 60% | 21 min | 43.5 kWh | 122 kW |
| 20% to 70% | 26 min | 43.5 kWh | 101 kW |
| 80% to 100% | 41 min | 17.4 kWh | 25 kW |

Consumption and range by cruise speed
Steady motorway cruising on flat road in mild weather, from the fitted model Wh/km = 60 + 0.0134 · v². The “usable range” column is the honest one for trip planning: it is 100% down to 10%, because nobody arrives on empty.
| Cruise speed | Consumption | Range (full pack) | Usable range (100 to 10%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 90 km/h | 169 Wh/km | 516 km | 465 km |
| 100 km/h | 194 Wh/km | 448 km | 404 km |
| 110 km/h | 222 Wh/km | 392 km | 352 km |
| 120 km/h | 253 Wh/km | 344 km | 310 km |
| 130 km/h | 286 Wh/km | 304 km | 273 km |
| 140 km/h | 323 Wh/km | 270 km | 243 km |
| 150 km/h | 362 Wh/km | 241 km | 217 km |
| 160 km/h | 403 Wh/km | 216 km | 194 km |
What the model does not include
- Elevation. The trip planner does account for climbs and descents; the range figures on this page are flat-road, so an alpine route will come out worse than the table.
- Temperature. These are mild-weather numbers. Cold raises consumption and cuts the charging curve. The planner models both. The numbers on this page do not.
- Wind, rain, roof boxes, payload and tyre choice, all of which move real consumption more than most people expect.
- Charger-side limits. The charging times above assume the site can deliver whatever the car asks for. A 150 kW cabinet shared with the car next to you will not.
Where these numbers come from
Renault Scenic E-Tech EV87 (2025 update): the biggest pack of the French cars here at 87 kWh, but only 150 kW to fill it, so 10-80% is forty minutes. It is a car that wants fewer, longer stops than its range alone suggests. Curve fitted to EV Database's published time.
What speed should you actually drive?
It depends on your route, on where the fast chargers happen to be and how the legal limits fall. Plan the real trip and the simulator will sweep every cruise speed against this car's curves and tell you which one arrives first.
