Renault broke the 1,000 km barrier on a single electric charge! Is the era of range anxiety over electric cars over?
While the world is busy developing massive batteries to increase range, Renault has decided to play the game its own way; Instead of increasing the capacity of the batteries, they made the electric car pass through the air! And the result? A historic achievement recorded by the Filante Record 2025 test car, which traveled an amazing distance of more than a thousand kilometers without touching the charging plug.
Numbers that defy logic: 1,000 km and real speed!
This test was not just slow driving in a laboratory, but was carried out on the UTAC track in Morocco and at highway speeds.
Here are the numbers that will make you reconsider the future of electric cars:
- Distance traveled: 1,008 km on a single charge.
- Flight time: less than 10 hours.
- Average speed: 102 km/h (real speed, not show).
- The big surprise: After covering this distance, 11% remained in the battery, which means that it was able to cover an additional 120 km, bringing the total possible range to 1,128 km!
Success mixture: How did Renault do it with a regular battery?
What is impressive about this achievement is not space technology, but rather engineering intelligence. Renault used a battery with a capacity of 87 kWh, which is the same battery found in the Renault Scenic E-Tech that we see on the streets.
The secret lies in:
Maximum aerodynamics: Design inspired by jets and classic record cars, with reduced air intakes and modified fenders in the wind tunnel.
Lightweight: Carbon fiber and aluminum frame, with 3D printed parts.
Zero rolling resistance: Special Michelin tires specially designed to reduce friction to a minimum.
Incredible energy consumption
The car recorded an average energy consumption of 7.8 kWh per 100 km. To imagine the scale of the achievement, the regular Scenic electric car consumes almost double this number (14.1 kilowatt-hours). This means that Renault was able to double efficiency simply by improving aerodynamics and weight.
Analysis in Arabic:
This test sends a strong message to all manufacturers: “The future is not in bigger batteries, but in smarter, more streamlined cars.” Renault Filante Record is not just a show car, but rather a mobile laboratory for the technologies that we will see in upcoming Renault cars, which will make us travel from one city to another without thinking about the location of the next charger.
Interaction question for our dear audience:
If an electric car with a real range of 1,000 km was available at a reasonable price, would you be ready to say goodbye to gasoline engines once and for all? What matters most to you in an electric car: long range or charging speed? Share your opinions with us in the comments!
Do you want me to turn these numbers into a quick infographic to show the difference between the consumption of a regular Renault car and the consumption of this legendary car?
