help Dacia Spring Electric FAQ
What is the real-world range of the Dacia Spring?
It carries a 26.8 kWh battery delivering around 225 km of WLTP range, and it achieves more in gentle city driving where its low speed is less of a penalty. It is engineered as an urban runabout rather than a highway cruiser.
Why is the Spring so cheap, and where is it built?
It is built in China by the Renault-Dongfeng joint venture and based on a small city car developed for that market, which keeps engineering and production costs far below a European-built EV. Launched in Europe in 2021, it entered as the cheapest new electric car in most of its markets.
How fast does it charge?
Slowly by fast-charging standards: DC charging tops out around 30 kW, so a rapid charge takes the better part of an hour, and some base trims are limited to slow AC charging only. It works fine overnight on a home wallbox or even a household socket.
Is the Dacia Spring safe?
It received only one star from Euro NCAP when tested in 2021, largely because entry versions lacked safety aids like automatic emergency braking. Higher trims add some driver assistance, but it is worth checking exactly which systems a specific model year includes.
