Dacia launches UK’s cheapest electric van
Tue, 05 Nov 2024
Dacia has introduced the Dacia Spring Cargo, the cheapest electric van on sale in the UK with a price tag of just £14,995 excluding VAT.
Based on the new Dacia Spring, the Cargo version is available to order now.It has a 26.8kWh battery that delivers a claimed 140 miles on the WLTP cycle, with the ability to fast charge from 20% to 80% in 45 minutes.
The electric motor has a modest 65PS power output and only one colour is available – Polar White.
It is sold as a factory-finished van, with the rear seats removed and a mesh bulkhead. The result is a load bay of 1085 litres and a payload of 370kg, meaning its appeal will be limited to light duty users such as urban couriers.
Inside, it gets a a 10-inch display with Media Nav Live and Smartphone replication, Bluetooth, a USB port, cruise control, air conditioning, electric front windows, remote central locking and front and rear parking sensors.
There's even a reversing camera, so it’s far from sparsely equipped, while it also features an electric power take-off system from which the user can power 240v accessories if needed.
