Dacia Spring: How much does it cost to recharge the electric city car?
This page is translated from the original post "Dacia Spring : combien coûte la recharge de la citadine électrique ?" in French.

The petite 100% electric Dacia Spring has revolutionized the market with its reasonable purchase price and interesting range. But what about its charging cost?
Except for some heavy quadricycles with engines like the XEV Yoyo, the Dacia Spring remains the cheapest electric car on the market as of today, despite numerous price increases over recent months. Starting at €16,990 in early 2021, it is now sold from €20,800 (excluding bonuses). Quite a jump! And cosmetic updates are not enough to justify this surge.
From its Essential entry-level version, the Dacia Spring is equipped with fairly comprehensive features (manual A/C, automatic lights, automatic emergency braking…) and very well equipped in the Expression version (GPS, smartphone mirroring, rear camera).
