Photos: Renault EV hits 626 miles on single charge, sets new efficiency record

Renault achieved a significant electric vehicle milestone at the end of 2025 with its single-seater prototype, the Filante Record 2025, which traveled 626 miles (1,008 km) on a single charge. The test, conducted at a Moroccan high-speed proving ground, lasted under 10 hours with an average speed of 102 km/h (63 mph). Remarkably, the car retained 11 percent battery capacity at the finish, suggesting a potential total range of up to 673 miles (1,083 km). The prototype’s design drew inspiration from historic Renault record-setters and incorporated advanced aerodynamic refinements, lightweight materials like carbon fiber and aluminum alloys, and specially developed low-drag tires to maximize efficiency. Powered by an 87 kWh battery pack—identical in capacity to that of Renault’s Scenic E-Tech crossover—the Filante Record achieved exceptional energy efficiency, consuming just 7.8 kWh/100 km at highway speeds, compared to 14.1
