Off the line, the Megane E-Tech Electric 217 hits 100 km/h in 7.54 s versus 12.34 s for the Dolphin Active 70kW. At this point, the Megane E-Tech Electric 217 leads by 4.80 s and sits roughly 30 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Megane E-Tech Electric 217 is doing 124 km/h against 101 km/h for the Dolphin Active 70kW. The gap is 2.04 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Megane E-Tech Electric 217 crosses the line in 15.61 s versus 18.84 s. The 3.23 s gap represents roughly 106 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Megane E-Tech Electric 217 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 160 km/h versus 136 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Megane E-Tech Electric 217 finishes in 29.16 s versus 34.35 s, with a 5.19 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (160 vs 150 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Megane E-Tech Electric 217 is capped at 160 km/h, the Dolphin Active 70kW at 150 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 (7.80 kg/hp vs 14.79 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 21.36 seconds. The 4.80 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
