The company also claims that R5 has a towing capacity of 500 kilos. Notably.

The R5 boasts bidirectional charging capabilities, allowing owners to sell their battery’s energy back to the grid. 

The Envision battery pack, facilitating this functionality, will initially be imported until the completion of Envision’s gigafactory in northern France, expected to commence production in 2025.

Renault stands as the sole major European automaker participating in this year’s Geneva show, marking a significant return since the pre-pandemic year of 2019.
