The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Megane E-Tech Electric 217 hits 100 km/h in 7.54 s versus 7.76 s for the Han EV 200kW 2WD. At this point, the Megane E-Tech Electric 217 leads by 0.22 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Megane E-Tech Electric 217 is doing 124 km/h against 123 km/h for the Han EV 200kW 2WD. The gap is 0.13 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the Megane E-Tech Electric 217 crosses the line in 15.61 s versus 15.74 s. The 0.13 s gap represents roughly 5 m of track - barely a car length.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Megane E-Tech Electric 217 maxes out at 160 km/h while the Han EV 200kW 2WD keeps accelerating towards 180 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.01 s.

Around 596 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the Han EV 200kW 2WD overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 20 km/h higher top speed.

At 1,000 metres, the Han EV 200kW 2WD finishes in 28.20 s versus 29.16 s. The 0.96 s delta in favour of the Han EV 200kW 2WD shows that top speed makes a clear difference.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Han EV 200kW 2WD is capped at 180 km/h, the Megane E-Tech Electric 217 at 160 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.

With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.76 kg/hp vs 7.80 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.56 seconds. The 0.22 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
