"The automaker's engineers sought to determine if an EV using a battery comparable to the one used in the Scenic SUV could drive for 1,000 kilometers (or 621 miles) at speeds similar to highway driving without needing to recharge. (According to Renault's website, the Scenic has a range of up to 381 miles between charges.) On December 18, the Filante answered that question with a resounding "Yes.""
""This accomplishment took a lot of exacting work on several fronts - ultra-efficient aerodynamics of course, the low-rolling-resistance tires, the lightweight materials (including carbon fibre and 3D-printed aluminium components) and advanced technical features (steer-by-wire for instance)," he added. "Teams of experts from Renault and its partners Michelin and Ligier worked on every aspect of Filante Record 2025's design to demonstrate that electric vehicles can now travel long distances without recharging, even at sustained spe"
Renault tested a customized Filante at a Moroccan facility to determine whether an EV with a Scenic SUV's battery could travel 1,000 km (621 miles) at sustained highway-like speeds without recharging. The Filante completed the run on December 18 using an 87 kWh battery identical to the Scenic E-Tech electric. Engineers achieved the result through ultra-efficient aerodynamics, low-rolling-resistance tires, and lightweight materials, including carbon fibre and 3D-printed aluminium components, along with advanced features such as steer-by-wire. Teams from Renault, Michelin and Ligier collaborated on design and engineering to demonstrate long-distance electric driving capability at sustained speeds.
