Hi everyone. I just became the owner of the metallic white with black roof Iconic Megane E-Tech taken delivery in Jan 2025 through an Octopus Salary Sacrifice car scheme. Currently loving it but missed a proper paper based manual as everything is online and you have to learn through videos (call me old fashioned). Even the service staff complain Renault haven’t yet provided better training on all the menu items and configurations. Joined this forum to get tips and info and already had a question answered. Just getting through that period called ‘EV Anxiety’ where all I did was worry about the range when driving. Thanks all

Welcome! The anxiety passes and (assuming you have home charging) gets replaced with a realisation that it's even easier than owning a fossil fueled car.

A manual would be nice, agreed. After nearly 18 months I still have no idea what "vehicle dynamics" means 😆

Welcome to the club.
Range anxiety soon passes once you realise that the state of charge estimation at your destination in Google maps is pretty accurate. Also the number of chargers around the place as shown in Google helps too.
Picked my Megane up from Manchester and drove it home to Somerset - 234 miles, charged it at the services on the M5 during a comfort/dinner break. It would probably have made it without charging, but as it was my first trip I didn't see the need to test it!
