1WLTP figures shown are for comparability purposes. Actual real-world driving results may vary depending on factors including the starting charge of the battery, accessories fitted after registration, weather conditions, driving styles and vehicle load.

3Figures quotes are for comfort range versions with standard up to 130kW charger. Charging time may vary depending on charging conditions, including charger type and condition, on-site power usage, battery temperature as well as ambient temperature at point of use, battery age and state of charge, and if battery safeguarding technology is activated. Indictated rapid charging time requires use of a 130kW charger, available only on public charger network-visit Myrenault for coverage details

Is it just me or do u guys think the Renault e-tech brakes are really bad? When u brake, it feels like there's a 1-2 seconds latency. And when i dont push the gas, my speed doesn't decrease for a while. These are huge minuses unfortunately.

The reason for this behavior is that, unlike traditional trucks where the braking system acts immediately when the brake pedal is pressed, in the case of the electric Renault, when braking, it first tries to apply maximum regeneration. This slows down the vehicle while recharging the batteries, and only if this system is not sufficient does the traditional braking system activate. While this is a realistic implementation, driving this new type of truck requires an adaptation process, during which we may notice strange and annoying behavior. On the other hand, I also think that being the first electric truck implemented for the game, the systems are not yet fully refined or adapted. I am convinced that in the near future, the game will offer better systems or configurations to adapt these behaviors to our preferences.

Not experienced any delay myself. There is a thread on SCS fora explaining how to set up realistic braking. You assign a key to engine brake & primarily use that for deceleration, not the friction brakes pedal, then you can use cruise as normal & when cruise is off you have one pedal driving emulation.

It's the same as electric cars.,When you release the electric door, there is braking force to start braking.,When you step on the brake, the braking force will be added.,But this recognition in the game seems to be a little slower.,But it should be fully adapted after a while.

Yes, in reality, braking in electric vehicles works differently, but in the game, it's far from realistic. The problem isn't the delay, but rather that it doesn't respond to a certain braking force, and once that's exceeded, it starts braking with the full force you apply. So currently, the braking on this truck is unmanageable.
I've tried braking in several different ways, but the problem is always the same: it starts braking with unexpected force. However, I should add that this only happens at low speeds; I don't experience this issue at higher speeds.

Moreover, sometimes the braking works normally, although it's rare, it does happen.
Yeah, and sometimes the acceleration doesn't work either.

In my opinion, this is currently a bug in the game.

I've figured out that it has something to do with the automatic transmission. In ETS, as I see it, the brake only works with an electric motor. So, if you downshift from 12th to 4th gear, the braking force will be that much stronger.

However, this isn't normal operation, because with such a maneuver in the game, I can stop faster than with any other vehicle, causing accidents behind me. A manual transmission isn't a solution since this truck also has an automatic transmission in reality.
