Renault home EV chargers
Find home EV charger options for Renault electric vehicles including the Megane E-Tech.
Renault's Australian electric range includes the Megane E-Tech and Kangoo E-Tech. Their charging capabilities differ, so the model and its Australian specification should be confirmed before selecting home charging equipment.
Renault Australia confirms that the Megane E-Tech supports Type 2 AC charging up to 7.4 kW. Connecting it to an 11 kW or 22 kW AC charger will not raise its charging rate beyond that vehicle limit. Other Renault electric models have different charging configurations, so their specifications should be checked individually.
For everyday charging, consider the home's electrical supply, the available parking space, cable reach and whether scheduled or solar-aware charging would be helpful. A suitable single-phase wallbox can support regular overnight charging for the Megane E-Tech.

Renault EV charging FAQs
How do I choose a home charger for my Renault EV?
Start with your vehicle's maximum AC charging rate and your home's electrical supply. Then consider your parking layout, cable preference, solar setup and load-management needs. HomeChargerMatch's recommendation form can use your exact vehicle model and home details to help narrow down suitable options.
Can I use a Type 2 home charger with my Renault EV?
A compatible Type 2 AC wallbox can charge a vehicle fitted with a Type 2 AC inlet. Check your exact vehicle model and Australian specifications before choosing a charger. Tethered chargers have an attached cable, while socketed chargers require a suitable separate charging cable.
Will a 22 kW home charger charge my Renault EV faster?
Not necessarily. Your vehicle's onboard AC charger, the available electrical phases and the charger's configured current all affect charging speed. A 22 kW wallbox does not guarantee that your vehicle will charge at 22 kW. A licensed electrician can assess the electrical supply available at your property.
Can I charge my Renault EV using rooftop solar?
Yes. Rooftop solar can provide electricity for EV charging while it is generating power. Automatic surplus-solar charging requires a compatible charger or energy-management setup and may need additional metering or current sensors. Type 2 or OCPP support alone does not guarantee automatic solar diversion.
Do I need a licensed electrician to install a home charger for my Renault EV?
Yes. A dedicated home EV charger must be installed by a licensed electrician. They will assess your electrical supply, circuit requirements and required protection, along with any applicable network conditions. Apartment or strata installations may also require approval before work begins.
