Dacia has introduced an LCV version of its new Spring EV, which it is billing as the UK’s most affordable compact electric van.
The model is priced at £14,995 excluding VAT, and is also eligible for a £2,500 plug-in van grant from the UK Government.
Based on the Spring car, with the rear seats removed and a mesh bulkhead installed, the Spring Cargo has a 370kg payload, with a 1,085-litre load space.
The model comes with a 65bhp electric motor, and a 26.8kWh battery, allowing a range of up to 140 miles on the WLTP mixed cycle. The battery can be charged from 20-80% in 45 minutes.
Standard equipment with the Spring Cargo, which is available to order now, includes a 10in infotainment screen with sat-nav and smartphone connectivity, a USB port, cruise control, air conditioning, front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera, and bi-directional vehicle-to-load capability.
