Since its launch in 2021, Dacia Spring has been a real success for the brand. A little chicken with golden eggs than this less than four meter long city car, which has sold more than 40,000 units since last year. A great success for an inexpensive electric city car that is currently the cheapest on the market. And it is not for nothing that it is exchanged for only 20,800 euros. This price does not include an environmental bonus of €5,616, which does not exceed 27% of the car’s price. Suffice to say, it’s hard to find anything more affordable than the Citroën Ami! A recipe that, therefore, certainly has something to inspire other producers. And in particular the group Stellantis.

It’s control time! 📝

Strong inspiration

Indeed, Carlos Tavares, head of the group created by the merger of PSA and FCA, also wants to make electric mobility accessible to as many people as possible and offer a low-cost car. True, there is a friend, but this one belongs to a category light quad bikes not cars as such. And to achieve his goal, the manager wants to draw inspiration from Dacia’s strategy. We will remind you that the brand was simply imported from us Renault Kwid Indian, which he apparently revised to bring it up to our European standards. Changed the engine and logo, and that’s it!

Indian C3

And this gives Stellantis ideas. The Franco-Italian group could then go and look for a low-cost model in India, which could then become C3 in its version intended for developing countries. As for the spring, the heat engine will be replaced with an electric unit and the turn will be played. However, for now, Carlos Tavares explains that “ no decision has been made. We will see if there is a business model to export it to Southeast Asia and beyond.“.

50 minutes is the perfect time to discharge the batteries with a good run and the time to charge the Nouvelle Spring batteries in the 30 kW DC fast charge mode. pic.twitter.com/0bpDl57UuL
