Support per
MOS:STYLERET - There seems to be a lack of consistency across both primary and secondary sources regarding the use of an accent here (for example, the
Irish Independent and The Times use the accent, while the
British Independent does not) and as such I have no stance on which usage is correct, especially given the fact that these two titles are effectively identical from an Anglophone perspective. @
BarrelProof:, note that in determining article titles
English-language sources generally take precedence.

English-language sources seem even less likely to use the accent than French ones. —

I'm not sure where I implied that I believed that they would be more likely to. I was just pointing out that Francophone sources aren't really relevant here since the car has received significant coverage from Anglophone reliable sources. I have no strong preference for either spelling. However, the fact remains that many English sources do use the accent, and Renault themselves have used the accent in the English-language press releases. It is also worth noting that several sources I've seen seem to drop accents in headings but retain them in prose, possibly for search-engine-optimisation purposes, which may make the accented version initially appear less common than it actually is. Even if the unaccented version is somewhat more common, it isn't overwhelmingly so, and readers are unlikely to be confused by its presence. I don't see any reason to prefer one usage over the other so far as
English Wikipedia's article naming policies go other than
WP:TITLECHANGES adaptation of
MOS:STYLERET.

Comment: Not sure why the "Electric" was removed from the title, given another Megane E-Tech exists,
which is the old PHEV model. Restoring the original title "Renault Megane E-Tech Electric" would create a
natural disambiguation. :

Scanning through the sources it does seem that this is a part of the car's
WP:COMMONNAME, and I would support its restoration.

I support adding "Electric" as per Andra and HBP5; I hope that doesn't mean we will have to relist? Mr.choppers | ✎ 20:50, 30 March 2023 (UTC)reply
