"The Dacia Spring, Europe's cheapest new EV, gets a massive power boost and a new battery. The Spring is now the Renault Group's first LFP-powered EV. The budget EV, which starts at roughly $19,700 (16,900), gets several other improvements, including a charging boost. The Dacia Spring got yet another refresh, just one year after its comprehensive styling update in 2024, two years after getting new motors, and three years after its first facelift."
"Starting at roughly $19,700 (16,900), the updated Spring is now powered by a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack that sits in a new reinforced enclosure designed to increase stiffness and improve weight distribution. Compared to the outgoing nickel-based battery, the LFP chemistry promises more logevity and less degradation over time. The new LFP battery has a 24.3-kilowatt-hour capacity, which means it's slightly smaller than the outgoing model's 25-kilowatt-hour pack."
The Dacia Spring receives major technical upgrades including a 24.3-kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery in a reinforced enclosure to boost stiffness and weight distribution. The LFP chemistry offers greater longevity and reduced degradation versus the outgoing nickel-based battery despite a slight capacity drop from 25 kWh. More efficient electric motors and aerodynamic tweaks maintain the combined WLTP range at about 140 miles (225 kilometers). Optional DC fast charging capability increases maximum input from 30 kW to 40 kW, enabling a claimed 20–80% charge in 29 minutes. The standard 7 kW onboard charger also benefits AC charging times.
