Dacia Spring - Battery, Range and Charge Times

[Rob]

The All-New Dacia Spring is resource-light and achieves greater efficiency through its light weight. In addition to changes made to all new Dacia models, such as the removal of all accent pieces in chrome and animal leather, or the increased number of full-dyed parts, the All-New Spring is designed according to very strict criteria to accurately meet the specific needs of A-segment customers. That includes a battery calibrated to meet their criteria and which fits a compact platform.

The new Dacia Spring has a single electric motor that sends either 44bhp or 64bhp through the front wheels, with the more powerful variant dispatching 0-62mph in 13.7sec.

The small, 26.8kWh battery delivers a claimed range of more than 137 miles.
Thanks to the small battery the Spring weighs only 984kg .

The 44bhp car can take charge at a maximum of 11kW (AC), while 64bhp cars get 30kW DC charging as standard.

To further optimise the car’s range, the All-New Dacia Spring is equipped for the first time with a regenerative braking system that is activated by selecting the ‘B-mode’ via the new gearbox controls.

The New Dacia Spring now features a bi-directional V2L (vehicle-to-load) charger so it can be used as an energy source to power electrical devices. A specific adapter that plugs into the car’s charging connector, located under the grille, acts as a traditional 220V/16A socket.
