Dacia Spring does not have it easy, but his letters play well

What if they told you that you can have an electric car for less than 9,000 euros? He Dacia Spring It is, today, the cheapest 100% electric model you can buy, provided you can host you currently available public aid. But one thing is the price and a very different real experience. In the new 24/7 episode, Mario Arroyo has used it for a whole monthwithout garage or cargo point at home, and with both urban and interurban routes. How much do you spend? How do you behave? Who really compensates? You have answers for all that.

He full video is now available On the Xataka YouTube channelwhere our partner has documented in detail his experience. From the first day he has used it as a main car in real journeys: to work, to the airport, to make the purchase, even for getaways inside and outside Madrid. “The idea of ​​this video is to experience what it is to have a 100% electric car designed for Ciudad in full 2025,” he explains. He has tried it in varied conditions, with its limitations and also with its advantages.

As we can see, Dacia Spring does not promise great luxuries. The version that our partner has tried is the Extreme, with a 48 kW electric motor, about 65 hp, and a useful battery of 26.8 kWh. According to the brand, that gives for about 220 km of autonomy. “Basically I will tell you that it has more than enough strength to move around and even to make a short road by road.” Now, to what extent does that autonomy figure be sustained in real use? And how does it behave? The answers may not be so obvious.

The experience changes when we leave the city. In highway or circumvaluation sections, the spring shows its limits. Our partner describes it like this: “When the steering wheel turns, you feel a small Zig Zag, as if the car staggered a little.” At 100 or 120 km/h speeds, lack of stability is noted and can affect driver’s confidence. Even so, he assures that for short and everyday paths he has not had major inconveniences. In the video we analyze it in detail.

Another key challenge has been the recharge. Without charge point at home, all experience has depended on public stations, with its advantages and also its frustrations. “It is not the simplest process in the worldhonestly, ”says our partner, who has used apps as Electromaps To find points available. Between slow charges, out -of -service stations and limited powers, experience reveals both what works and what still needs to improve in Spain.

After almost a month of use, the video breaks down all the paths, consumptions, times and load prices to make a direct comparison with a combustion car. “For short and usual journeys I think the option to choose from,” says our partner. Now, that comes with very specific conditions: having access to domestic load, not needing great displacements and assuming a simple construction, focused on the basics. Is the final urban electric or an intermediate step along the way? We invite you to discover it In the last video posted on the Xataka YouTube channel.
