Renault 5 52 kWh: charging time and cost
Identify your Renault 5 version first. This guide’s 52 kWh example must not be transferred to a 40 kWh battery, an AC-only version or a later specification without checking its source.
The example uses the documented launch Renault 5 E-Tech Comfort Range with 52 kWh usable capacity, an 11 kW AC limit and a 100 kW DC peak. The manufacturer’s reference concerns launch versions in 2024–2025.

01
Check the battery and model year
Other Renault 5 configurations have different batteries or charging support. The Five 95 hp 40 kWh configuration in the catalogue is AC-only; do not assume a DC session is possible from the family name alone. Later announcements are not automatically the same configuration.
02
Keep the 15–80% window consistent
From 15% to 80%, the theoretical stored energy is 52 × 0.65 = 33.8 kWh. With an illustrative 90% efficiency, the estimated supply draw is about 37.56 kWh.
At a compatible constant 7.4 kW AC, this gives about 5 hours 5 minutes, rounded up. At 11 kW it gives about 3 hours 25 minutes. These are simplified AC estimates, not measured session times.
The documented DC reference is 30 minutes from 15% to 80%, with a 100 kW peak. The peak is not maintained for the entire session.
Ricaora’s reconstructed curve and loss assumptions can produce a different estimated result. Compare the same window and conditions before drawing conclusions.
03
Price the same energy at your own tariff
With the illustrative 37.56 kWh supply estimate, energy alone costs about €11.27 at €0.30/kWh or €24.41 at €0.65/kWh. Neither tariff is a current offer. Real billed energy can differ, and session, subscription or parking charges must be added separately.
In the calculator choose the exact version and check charge percentages, AC or DC, available power, temperature assumptions and tariff. Saving the car to the Garage is optional.
The Epiq comparison below uses 20–80%. It illustrates the effect of a different capacity; it is not directly comparable with this guide’s 15–80% DC reference.
