Nissan Townstar
Renault-based electric drivetrain for the Townstar EV. Same technology as the Kangoo E-Tech.
Electric van — silent duty
122 hp electric van for city use — quiet and clean, but no sports car.
Engine Weaknesses 2
In the Renault-based electric drivetrain, carbon dust deposits from the motor brushes can form and cause motor damage. Cases from as low as 60,000 km are documented in the predecessor Kangoo ZE. Motor replacement required.
Symptoms: Sudden power loss, error message on display, motor no longer turns, breakdown
Renault-based electric vehicles show more frequent charging interruptions at public charging stations. CAN bus communication errors between the vehicle and the charging station are the most common cause. Software updates partially resolve the issue.
Symptoms: Charging session aborts after a few minutes, error message on display, charging flap does not lock correctly
