Renault plans 10 new electric models by 2025, and will use new, purpose-built electric car platforms to achieve this goal.

The automaker has previously said it will use purpose-designed electric platforms, known as CMF B-EV and CMF A, to produce small and affordable EVs. It said on Wednesday that the CMF B-EV platform would allow it to produce a vehicle at two-thirds of the cost of making its Renault Zoe EV.

"We want to democratize electric technology," CEO Luca de Meo said. "When you have a car at 20 to 25,000 euros, you have much more chance than selling a car at 45,000 euros. It's as simple as that."

The first of the new EVs will be the a full-electric version of its Megane compact car, the MeganE hatchback, which is due to go on sale in the first half of next year.

The automaker is betting that reviving iconic cars from its past as electric models will capture the imagination of today's drivers

It plans an electric version of its classic Renault 5 compact car, which was discontinued in the 1990s. At a live-streamed presentation on Wednesday, the company offered a glimpse of its new electric "4ever." Two sources close to the company said it was a revival of the Renault 4 hatchback which went out of production last century.
