Second-gen Dacia Spring exposes the absurdity of modern electric cars

08 September 2026
Dacia’s second-generation Spring trades its flimsy budget origins for a wider European platform and genuine urban utility, proving that sensible engineering and sub-{{£18}}k price beat bloated electric excess every time.

So the Chinese Leapmotor T03 costs only €15,238 while having heavy tariffs on It.
The Spring will cost as much as €21,100?
That's €5862 or 38.5% higher price for only offering "offers more interior room, proper European crash engineering, and a dealer network that doesn't vanish into thin air."

If I compare It to the previous generation assembled in China the price is 50% higher.
Why should I be awed by this new generation?

European platform and production, LFP battery (from China),

9h to charge with 6.6Kw charger?
Need math-refreshing course.
I bet the 9h comes if connected to standard "on-the-wall" port, which is usually limited to 3.3Kw max

Good but still too small. Should be 4m length for back seat comfort. Like ec3, geely e2

Bit disappointed with the new car's lack of oomph. The current 100hp "extreme" spring nips to 60 in 9.3 seconds.
