This little Romanian electric runabout has the potential to upset the balance of EV power in Europe.

The European EV scene could be turned on its head by the super-affordable Dacia Spring, a small city EV with decent range. According to Dacia, the Spring has a 230 km (142-mile) WLTP range and its starting price in France is just €16,990 (approx. £14,550 at current exchange rate), or €12,403 (£10,600) with the local government eco-bonus factored in.

Dacia says that the Spring will have even more range if you drive it exclusively in town, with a claimed 305 km (189 miles) - this is based on the WLTP City cycle. In France, there will be three versions of Spring for buyers to choose from: the standard version, the Business version aimed at fleet buyers and car sharing services and, from 2022, the Spring Cargo which will be delivered without a back seat in order to be used as an urban delivery vehicle.
