The production version of the Renault 5 has been unveiled at the Geneva motor show, as the first in a wave of retro electric cars coming from the French brand over the next few years. As promised, the road car is a faithful translation of the acclaimed concept from 2021, taking heavy inspiration from the original 1970s Renault 5, and it will eventually be joined in dealerships by evolved versions of the similarly nostalgic Renault 4Ever and Twingo concepts.
In either guise, the 5 is able to supply up to 11kW to external devices via its charging port, which means it can effectively become a part of the electrical grid. This would allow owners to charge overnight when power is cheap and then sell energy back during peak hours at a profit. In France, Renault will offer this functionality via a subscription to its nascent e-mobility platform, Mobilize.
