Dacia unveiled the new Spring, an electric city vehicle that will be the most affordable electric car available in Portugal. The model was developed on the same platform as the Renault Twingo and is produced in Europe, which represents an added value for European consumers. The main objective of this new model is to broaden access to electric mobility to a wider audience, making the transition to electric vehicles more accessible. In Portugal, the entire range of the new Dacia Spring will be priced below 20 thousand euros, a competitive price that can boost the adoption of electric vehicles in the country.
