For nearly 125 years, Renault has been constantly seeking to innovate. From the direct-drive gearbox in 1899 through to the E-TECH hybrid motors in 2020, Renault has constantly found ways to give its customers full use of the ingenious ideas of its engineers. The All-new Megane E-TECH Electric – the first of Renault’s Nouvelle Vague – sees Renault still innovating. More than 300 patents have been lodged for the design of the vehicle and its platform, of which we have selected seven to explore with Jean-Baptiste Nicolet, a.k.a. TheiCollection, as he takes us on a road-trip from Paris to Normandy. For our 6th episode, we find out how Renault engineers devised a system that improves the range of electric vehicles in cold weather by recovering heat from the electric battery and engine.
