          DC charge
          Rapid direct current charge (50 kW minimum). Needs a special rapid charge terminal, available only on the public network.

          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,

          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).
          wallbox
          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.
