"Dacia Spring: Solution to the UK's Electric Vehicle Problem"
The Dacia Spring is aimed at city drivers, so it has a small 27kWh battery that helps reduce the cost and weight of the car. Although the electric range is only about 137 miles, for those taking short city trips this is adequate and helps save fuel. Fast charging time from 20-80% takes only 45 minutes, making charging more convenient.
First launched in 2021, the Dacia Spring was the third most sold electric car to individuals in 2022 and 2023. Since launch, more than 140,000 Springs have been registered worldwide.
The new model features an entirely renewed and more robust design, a range that suits drivers’ everyday needs (137 miles), and greater efficiency thanks to carefully managed weight (only EV less than one tonne) – all while remaining the most affordable fully-electric model on the market.

The UK's EV affordability problem:

In the UK, high cost is the biggest barrier to owning an electric vehicle. More than three in four (74%) drivers say they would like to purchase one, but they are too expensive.
