Almost double the power! Dacia Spring Electric 65 Extreme (2024) review

Video Summary

Here's the requested summary of the YouTube video review:
- The Dacia Spring Electric Extreme Edition has about 50% more power than the regular Dacia Spring.
- Electric cars are expensive, even small compact ones, except for the Dacia Spring, which is the cheapest in Europe. It costs around €20,000 depending on the location.
- The problem with the Dacia Spring is that it's very slow with only 45 horsepower.
- This new version has 65 horsepower, which makes it a proper electric car, pretty fast, and easy to pass cars with on the countryside and in the town.
- Zero to 100 used to take 21 seconds but now only takes 19.
- This car only weighs 1,000 kilos, which is very lightweight for an electric car.
- 65 horsepower and instant torque are plenty for this car. It sometimes even has too much power, and the wheels can't handle it, especially when it's raining and the car gets wheel spin even up to 40km/h.
- The battery is still the same and provides a range of 220 kilometers, which is 10 kilometers less than the regular Spring.
- The car can be charged at home with 7.4 kilowatts, taking around 5 hours for a full charge. Most owners use a regular household socket instead, which takes about 13 hours.
- It's possible to fast-charge the car as an option for extra money, giving a 30 kilowatt capacity which takes 50 minutes to charge from 0 to 80%.
- The exterior and interior are also changed, including a new color called Slate Blue, and there are copper-colored elements.
- There is plenty of room in the back; 280-290 liters of luggage space.
- The backseat is small and pretty cramped.
- There are copper-colored elements around the air vents and on the center console.
- The Dacia Spring Electric is not for long distance traveling, as it is a city car.
- Owners only use the car in the city and travel about 31 kilometers a day.
- In the city, the Dacia Spring Electric Extreme Edition can do 305 kilometers and therefore only needs to be charged once a week.
