The Renault Trafic E-Tech Electric is not yet available for ordering, as its approval for the German market has not been granted yet. However, we took a close look at this model series at the IAA Transportation (in this video). Moreover, the manufacturer has now announced its prices. This French van, which in its new version is powered entirely by electricity and built on an 800-Volt architecture, starts at 41,900 euros for the base “Comfort Range” version. But this variant will not be available until spring 2027.
Renault Trafic with two battery options and two trim levels
When it becomes available for ordering “in the coming weeks,” as the manufacturer states, only the “Long Range” version will be available at first, priced at 47,400 euros. It is equipped with an 81 kWh NMC battery, offering a WLTP range of up to 470 kilometers. In urban conditions, the range is said to reach up to 690 kilometers. The large battery can be charged at 190 kW, allowing it to regain enough energy for an additional 280 kilometers in 20 minutes (380 km in city driving). The energy consumption is 17.2 kWh per 100 kilometers. This efficiency is attributed in part to a cwA value of 1.073, which, according to the manufacturer, makes it one of the most efficient models in its class.
The later available entry-level version is equipped with a 60 kWh LFP battery and is designed for ranges of up to 350 kilometers on combined roads or 510 kilometers in urban areas. Renault has not yet specified a charging speed for the smaller battery, but the already known Flexis/SDV platform suggests DC charging peaks of 125 to 150 kW. This would allow the battery to be recharged enough for about 200 kilometers of driving in 20 minutes.
The new Renault Trafic E-Tech Electric is powered by a 150-kW rear motor. The base Advance trim includes a heat pump, fast charging capability, keycard access, air conditioning, adaptive cruise control, the 12.3-inch openR evo multimedia system, and a V2L function. For safety and comfort, it features full LED lighting, 360-degree parking assistance with a rear camera, and a cargo area with an 8-millimeter thick wooden floor along with six anchoring points.
The Extra version adds an automatic climate control system, a mobile office setup, Google services including Gemini, Here navigation, and a V2L system with a 230-V outlet. Additionally, the cargo area includes ten side anchoring points, a loading hatch in the partition wall, and a second V2L system with a 230-V outlet inside the cargo area.

Fleet management is set to become easier thanks to a connected platform.
Starting in 2027, it will also become attractive for commercial fleets. Renault is expanding its offerings with the Renault Uptimize program, which aims to reduce overall costs and increase vehicle availability. It is based on the SDV (Software-Defined Vehicle) architecture, where components are connected to enable real-time delivery of operational data.
The data is analyzed using specialized software and AI. Instead of reacting only when defects occur, this data processing enables predictive maintenance, thereby reducing unexpected downtime in workshops and cutting vehicle downtime in fleet operations by half.
In addition, the manufacturer provides the Energy & Safety Control function, which allows fleet managers to transmit key performance parameters directly to the vehicles. The software enables configuration of driving modes, energy management settings, and designated speed limits.
