Few things fill an electric car driver with dread more than discovering that you have burger-all range left

FIRST REPORT
Stopping to fill an electric car’s battery brings temptation to do similar to one’s stomach, so Jim hopes the Megane’s range will improve and make such stops less frequent
REGULAR OR LARGE? It’s rare that pictures fail to convey the true size of a car as much as they do with the Renault Megane E-Tech, with its squat but tall dimensions. Think of it as a rival to the Volkswagen ID 3 (itself the electric equivalent of a Golf) and you’re on track.
Think of it, too, as a family hatchback. Again, the styling – which I think is fantastic and broader consensus seems to heartily approve of, too – gives it a bit of an air of a high-rider, and that’s emphasised by my car’s optional contrast-coloured roof, but you sit far lower down in the Megane than you would in an SUV.
