Dacia Spring first look: is Britain’s cheapest EV actually good enough?
The Dacia Spring makes sense when it is judged as an inexpensive urban EV rather than a cut-price replacement for a long-range family car. At £14,995 at launch it removed a huge barrier to new-EV ownership, but its 140-mile range, four-seat cabin and modest rapid charging mean the use case needs to fit the car.
