| Charging situation | 10→80% (minutes) |
|---|---|
| At the car's own maximum charging rate (30 kW) | ~ 61 |
| At a 50 kW charger | ~ 61 |
Charging at home uses AC power and is slower: a home wallbox typically delivers 7.4 to 11 kW. That is separate from the fast-charge times shown above.

Frequently asked
What does the Dacia Spring cost roughly?
Indicative starting price € 18,900 (reference date 2026-05-18). Not an offer.
What is the WLTP range of the Dacia Spring?
225 km WLTP (manufacturer figure). Owners typically report less in everyday driving, especially in cold weather. See the reviews below.
How long does fast-charging the Dacia Spring take (10→80%)?
Roughly 61 minutes on a 30 kW charger (10→80%, factory calculation, indicative). Actual time depends on battery temperature and the charging curve — the car's charging speed drops as the battery fills.
How big is the battery in the Dacia Spring?
26.8 kWh usable capacity (manufacturer figure). Check the warranty terms of the specific car for capacity retention.
What does the Dacia Spring use in real-world driving?
The factory WLTP figure is 14.6 kWh/100 km. Owners typically report more in mixed use, with the usual winter penalty. See the owner experiences below.
How much boot space does the Dacia Spring have?
308 litres (manufacturer figure). See the spec sheet for the full dimensions.

What owners report online about the Spring
This is a **summary of public discussions**, not an owner review collected by us. Recurring points: praise for the low running costs, low weight and very tight turning circle (under 5 metres), which owners say makes it an excellent city car; owners report motorway and winter range well below the WLTP figure, roughly 135-160 km, with crosswind sensitivity on the narrow eco tyres at motorway speed; the note that DC charging is capped at about 30 kW (and optional on lower trims), so a 10-80% stop takes roughly 45-60 minutes; and recurring reports of 12V battery and battery-sensor faults that trigger error messages and interrupted charging sessions, usually resolved by replacing the sensor. See the sources for the original, complete posts.

In depth
Small 26.8 kWh pack, WLTP around 225 km (manufacturer figure, indicative), substantially less in winter and on the motorway (public forums, not measured by us). DC charging limited to about 30 kW, power 65 hp. Deliberately a city car, not a long-distance machine.
About the Dacia Spring (2024)
Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.
The cheapest EV in the catalogue. An A-segment city car with a small 26.8 kWh pack; Dacia states around 225 km WLTP (manufacturer figure, indicative). In practice that turns out lower: at motorway speed and in winter owners report 25-35% less than WLTP on comparable small EVs (public forums, not measured by us). DC charging is capped at about 30 kW, so fast charging is slower than on larger EVs. The system power is 65 hp, enough for city and region but modest on the motorway.
Points to note
This is deliberately a light, plain city car, not a long-distance machine; judge it on that intent. The towing weight is zero, the car has four seats and rear space is tight. The indicative list price rose from around 17,900 euro (reference date early 2024) to 18,900 euro now, a starting price, not an offer and not a forecast. Check whether the range after the winter margin is sufficient for your longest regular trip; for commuting over longer distance or regular motorway trips this is probably the wrong car. The method is in the guide on WLTP versus practice.
