Electrive reports that the conversion will take place at Renault's Refactory in Flins and converted Master vans will have an estimated range of 200 kilometers on a charge from the 52kWh battery.

The charging won't be the fastest, at 22kW on an AC plug, as these depend on the vehicle's computer to convert power, meaning that some of the energy is wasted and the charging speed doesn't hit the advertised maximum all the time.

The conversion kit benefits from a 2-year warranty with no mileage limit, as well as 4 years or 150.000 kilometers for the traction battery.

Renault officials say that "retrofitting is an economical alternative for professionals, as it is cheaper than buying a new vehicle, and also makes it possible to extend the life of the vehicle and thus reduce its overall ecological footprint."

Renault's circular sustainability strategy lays on four pillars, namely “re-trofit, re-energy, re-cycle and re-start.” The French manufacturer already started implementing recycled materials in its latest-generation vehicles, such as the Megane E-Tech Electric and the Rafale, both of which we tested recently. Additionally, the Megane E-Tech is almost entirely recyclable, showing the circular approach Renault had when designing the vehicle.
