Unfortunately, even if their batteries are 100% EU made from raw materials, their cars still suck ass compared to everyone but Dacia (worse) and Peugeot/Citroen (same level).
But isn't Renault just assembling the cells into larger packs in France, with the actual single cells manufactured elsewhere?
Compared to many others in the same price range that I've tried. It's marginally worse than VW ID3 AND ID4 which also aren't a joy to drive. Personally I've found KIA and Hyundai the best budget options for EV, at least the ones I've tried. I tried the megane etech and it was absolutely horrible. The entire car interface was a shitshow, the driving felt awkward and disconnected, and their charging and BMS seems laughable compared to other new models.
The Dacia is just a fucking death trap, some of the lowest EURO-NCAP scores in a long time, along with other Renault models.
