          GLOSSARY OF ELECTRIC TERMS

          AC charge
          Alternating current charge at low or medium power (max. 43 kW). Charging mode most frequently used at home or on most public stations. 
          DC charge
          Rapid direct current charge (50 kW minimum). Needs a special rapid charge terminal, available only on the public network.
          useful capacity
          Quantity of energy contained in the battery that can be used by the vehicle. Value expressed in kilowatt hours (kWh)
          E-Tech
          Full electric, hybrid or plug-in
          hybrid technology developed by Renault.
          regenerative braking
          System that recovers energy on braking, helping to increase the vehicle’s driving range: whenever the vehicle slows down, some of its kinetic energy is converted to electricity. The battery charges when the driver takes his/her foot off the accelerator, or lightly presses the brake pedal.
          flexi-charger
          Charging cable that lets you connect a car to a domestic power socket. Designed for occasional charging at home, the Flexi-Charger preferably connects to a power socket with a special ground connection.
          kW
          Abbreviation of kilowatt. Unit of power that measures a vehicle engine or motor’s capacity, for electric or combustion engine. The kilowatt can also measure the direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) power.
          kWh
          Abbreviation of kilowatt hours. A unit of energy that indicates the energy capacity that a battery can provide to the motor in one hour of use. 
          mode 2
          For home use,
          you need this cable to charge
          your electric vehicle on conventional sockets.         
          mode 3
          You need this cable to charge
          your electric vehicle on the Wallbox
          or on public facilities.     
          reinforced socket
          A home charging solution that’s more efficient than a simple domestic socket (reinforced domestic socket). Allows a more powerful charge (3.2 kW for a reinforced socket compared with 2.3 kW for a regular socket) and it is safer (equipped with a differential breaker).
          home charging unit
          Private charging terminal. Delivers much greater intensity than a conventional domestic power socket, for more efficiency and faster charging. With its charge control and surge protector systems, it provides a safer home charging solution.
