Thanks for everyone that commented and watched the video! Important notes: 1. the total power output of the car is 33kW not 37kW like i mentioned in the video. my mistake (bad memory / not easy to think in front of the camera). so there was no power limit at 10% and 5% battery. also at 1% battery there was only 10% power limit (30kW out of the 33kW), not 20% reduction like i mentioned. - small error. apologies for this. 2. avarage speed was about 25km/h . yes it's not a lot, but you could still go 50km/h no problem if needed however this test was more to show what happens in the city (where this car should drive most of it's time) if you are on 0% and need to get home / to work / to a charger. 3. i forgot to mention this, but the heating was active all the way until the car died. so you could use the heating in the car if you wanted to. 4. i will try to do the video again in March or April at 15C* - let's see what the results will be then 5. next video will be charging the battery from absolute 0% to absolute 100% - it will be interesting 😁 🙏⚡🙏
I mean sure but there are other tests showing the consumption in different scenarios. Just add 20-40 km to each test depending on the scenario. Hipermiling to get the best results for sure would be interesting but also unrealistic. I could get under 10kwh/100km avg consumption and then the car would drive about 300km but it's unrealistic circumstances
@@electzro a test like this will show wether the 27kWh are until 0% or if it is 25kWh and 2 kWh below 0%. So such a test is very good if you can do it.
Looks like Dacia have built in a high percentage of hidden battery to allow for degradation and to make sure battery guarantee life is maintained, great news especially when test done in winter at sub zero temps . Great test

To safely push your car (any passenger vehicle): Disengage the hand brake, put the driver side seat belt over your shoulder, like a backpack, then hold the steering wheel with your right hand and the A pillar with your left hand and start walking. You can essentially wear your car as a backpack and you can "carry" it uphill like this, no problem (depending on it's size)
@Civil Shuma glad you liked it. but be careful anyway. don't calculate your trips including the range below 0%. also it's not very good for the battery to do it often...
Very very interesting test, of course not to do in a usual trip, batteries dislike to be completly discharged. But now we Know what the car is able to do if the planned charging station is out if use. 👍👍👍
If they're the same price, i would by the golf honesty. It's still under warranty. Similar range. Much better interior quality, bigger car, quicker charging.
Great video. I have learnt a lot about this car which should be in UK early in 2024. Pity it is made in China rather than Europe. Thanks, Maurice from Malvern UK.
Hey. Glad you liked it. It's made in china for now but i read that they might start making it in europe in 2024..maybe that's why they announced it for the uk market as well by 2024. It's a great little city runabout.
i would think that they can even more reduce price. Remove rear electrical window control. Remove handbrake, add just P, i think electric motor can hold with front wheels. Remove fog lights. Remove glove box lol, add in middle some storage. Remove those assists like auto braking, speed limiter, etc. Remove SOS. Remove key fob where you need to start car, add just start stop button somewhere. Remove rear window heating. I dont know how much of these things would reduce cost... change driver dash into a tablet, remove middle screen. or just make 2 seater car.
@@electzro We have Dacias but not electric vehicles. They are not yet common here because of the way electricity is priced with consumption staging that is the more KWhs you consume the more expensive it gets.
Thanks! Was surprised also. Was expecting maybe 5 km at 0%. - I wonder; the stated official range of the Dacia Spring ; would that be until it dies or when it is a 0% status? + 40km is a lot, especial for this car.
Until 0%, not until it dies. Running on 0% is not recommended also in the manual of the car. It's for emergencies only and it does affect your battery life over time if you do it often. I don't recommend anybody to do it. I just did it for the information to be available
@@electzro We have Springs here in Poland in carsharing called Traficar. As an employee who mainly works with these cars I see that average range of the car from fully charged to ~5-10% of battery is around 130-160 km depending on the driving styles of our customers. So I can assume that effective range of the car by the private owner is around 170 km from full to the 10% given the fact that private owners have to pay for electricity and care about own property so drive more eco in the first place. Still if I am not mistaken Dacia states that the car can make around 230 km of range and even more driving with eco mode on. So since I haven't seen any of ours Springs making even 200 kilometer between charging it would make sense that Dacia adds that "0%" range to their specification on the website. 170+40=210 is much more close to the stated 230 km.
@bdshke thr average range for those car sharing cars is a bit lower because probably everybody who drives the car is trying out the electric experience and making hard accelerations. 230km is achievable no problem without going on 0%. I've seen people driving efficiently and even getting 250km of range or more. The difference is in driving stile (and weather conditions as well).
Thanks. Home charger no. Ac charging at 6.6kw also no problem. DC charging is reduced very much. You can only get around 10kW of the original 30kW so DC charging is nor very good. I will have a separate video about this very soon :)
Yes, I have seen one....before getting fed up with Matt Watson. Fame got to he's head and I got fed up. He would never try this car now, maybe he would in the past... But not now. I prefer a down to earth review like you, not someone trying to be funny when he is not. Good review man!
glad you liked it. but be careful anyway. don't calculate your trips including the range below 0%. also it's not very good for the battery to do it often...
Thanks. You can change it with an obd2 bluetooth adapter, a laptop and DDT2000 software. Look for it in the forums and be careful what you change. I suggest only the language and some other small, simple things if you want. Don't try to change values relating to charging, speed etc.
Great content! I’ve also ordered one. Let me have a question. Do you think a towing bar or hitch can be mounted , not for towing just for using a box. Greetings from Hungary !
Thanks. For sure it can be done, but it would be something custom as there is no approved solution for the car. What would you like to carry in the box?
@@hintalanadam309 yeah, something can probably be done aldough i haven't seen something like that until now. only ski rack on top with magnetic ski holders, and bike rack on the back of the car
Hi 😊 I am very interested in buying a Dacia Springer. Could you go over the pro and cons of Dacia springer. Does that app work so you can pre heat your car in the winter? Loved your video about the battery. I was not aware that you have to ask how many % charging the guarantee covers. Very important point. So thank you so much for that 😊😊👍👍♥️♥️
yes, the car can be heated or cooled from the app (on / off only so you have to set the temperature in the car before you close the car but generally in the summer you will leave it on cool, and in the winter on warm and that's it). pay attention to the level of equipment, the base car does not have app support. make sure to check which version you're getting if the app is important for your usage
nope.. it reduced gradually due to the low state of charge of the cells. also turtle mode kicks in every time you press the pedal too hard and there is not enough available energy
I didn't count the kms for that charge as that was not the idea of the video. But if you're driving carefully and have a consumption of about 10kwh/100km like i did, and you run from 100% to under 0% like i did, you can get about 280 to 300kms with the car.
Eu am Confort Plus și cel mai mult am descărcat-o până la 2%. Pornisem cu aproximativ 18km range si aveam 11km până la stația de încărcare. Mod ECO, temperatura era aceeași ca in clip dar am avut de urcat rampă de 5-7% mai mult de jumătate din distanță. De pe la 5% afișat pe bord m-a limitat la max 35km/h cu aceleași mesaje de avertizare ca în clip.
there was a really good yt video that i watched that explained how the percentage for batteries shown is just an approximation so its not real data since batteries dont have motherboard that can send their status information to the computer of the car or phone for that matter
Nu vad prea multe teste in conditii reale de exploatare: aer conditionat/caldura, radio, un telefon la incarcatt, faruri aprinse, stergatoare, dezaburire, sau alti consumatori, inca o persoana sau ceva bagaje/cumparaturi.
3% is not a good % to store a battery for long time. I would avoid it. Or if it's a really good deal, do some charge / discharge test if possible. If not, just skip it
@@electzro I charged the car, 100% - 210 km range. I should go with it to see how the mileage is running out and top it up again. I think 100/150 km would be enough.
Yes. Then you can measure approximately what degradation it has. It shluld he overall fine but still it might have some early degradation that only in 5-7 years will show up. Only consider buying it if it's cheaper than others..
@@electzro The decision is difficult, knowing that the car has been standing for so long and has never been charged. The warranty is there if there is a problem, but how can it be that it is too discharged and they can see it somewhere?
@mikloskalman2841 yes it's difficult. It only makes sence if it's a lot cheaper than others on the market like i said. Cars like tesla will be able to show from logs that the car wa sitting at low SOC % for long but Dacia Spring probably has no such logs
I would be interested if it happens with the "orange normal Spring", not the car sharing, maybe there is a bigger gap between them. I can imagine, with summer tire and in normal temperature 10-20°C would it be 50-60 km:))))
i will try to do the test again now in the summer :) i won't have access to the "orange" spring but they should be the same, although they are using different codes of batteries. see another video i did... :)
@Carlos Cruz thanks. no change. the range at absolute 100% was about 225km so the BMS and the trip computer would still not calculate the values that are hidden from the user so the bottom and top buffers.
yes, the bottom buffer which in other cars is not this big. definitely not good to do this. i don't recommend it. just wanted to do this test to have the numbers. i've done another video right after this one about the battery. check it out.
Imagine using your Spring and adding charge from a Jackery solar power station (or ecoflow) ! I imagine these in folding solar panels to block the sun on the rear windows(like these covers for the sun)
yeah that sounds like a great solution for a weekend adventure in the woods or in the mountains. you can't charge the car while driving but when you are stopped and camping... sure it's a great solution. shout out @jackeryinc and @EcoFlowTech if they want to sponsor something like this :)
thanks. depends on how you drive it. if you drive it carefully from 100% until it stops it's over 300 km. if you drive it on the highway it's less than 200 km... this is true of any electric car.
@Alexandre Martinho - not really. the capacity is there, just the dashboard is not showing it to you to protect the battery. after you charge the car, it "disappears" again. the BMS will not learn the bigger capacity in this case. balancing and calibration is something else.
are you charging at 22kw or 50kw? do you have data on how much it costed you to charge it from 0 to 100 in a public charging station at 22kw and at 50kw? Thank you.
That's impressive, when I rented one I was so afraid by the range, expected that like for a smartphone at 0% it would just shut down, it's great that there is some safety range like that. No please do more videos in english, first your english is excellent and second, the market for english videos is a lot bigger + most of your romanian viewers are probably highly educated and can understand what you say in english very well...
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, the car batteries are not like phone batteries that just stop at 0%. Most cars will go on for 5-10kms on 0%. But i wasn't expecting 40kms either :)
Batteries should never be decharged completely. The optimal decharging point for lithium batteries about 80%. Otherwise your batteries Will eventually die and stop recharging. Thats why the manufacturer put the limit to 20%.never decharge beyond that limit it significantly reduces the battery lifespan

Can you do the same test, but charged to 100% and then drive to absolute zero (like in this video) and give us total range and efficiency?
I mean sure but there are other tests showing the consumption in different scenarios. Just add 20-40 km to each test depending on the scenario.

My guess is that the shown percentage is offset by some fixed value like 20%, do you know at what kWh it showed 1% again?
It's the lower buffer. Yes, it's offset by about 10% so around 2.5 kwh. When it's on 0% there is still around 2.5 kwh in the battery

🙏 appreciate the kind words.
Great video which is bound to help against range anxiety.
glad you liked it. but be careful anyway. don't calculate your trips including the range below 0%. also it's not very good for the battery to do it often...
Thank you for the video, is was very helpful. I really appreciate the video was in English, which you speak very good btw :)
Thnx . Glad you liked it
Very Good and the weather was cold better than a electric mini or Honda e
yeah.. i'll do the test again soon with warm weather outside :)
@@electzro good one
Hello, great test. Any idea how to change DASHBOARD language to english? Currently i see french language.
Thanks. You can change it with an obd2 bluetooth adapter, a laptop and DDT2000 software. Look for it in the forums and be careful what you change. I suggest only the language and some other small, simple things if you want. Don't try to change values relating to charging, speed etc.
@@electzro thanks, I'll probably do it at the dealership.
Amazing car think I would push these batteries all the way as a city car.
Agreed. Also replacing / repairing them will be cheap. I expect the actual body to rust more quickly than the battery to go bad
Great content! I’ve also ordered one. Let me have a question. Do you think a towing bar or hitch can be mounted , not for towing just for using a box. Greetings from Hungary !
Thanks. For sure it can be done, but it would be something custom as there is no approved solution for the car. What would you like to carry in the box?
@@electzro just for extra luggage storage , like Thule back space
@@hintalanadam309 yeah, something can probably be done aldough i haven't seen something like that until now. only ski rack on top with magnetic ski holders, and bike rack on the back of the car
Hi 😊 I am very interested in buying a Dacia Springer. Could you go over the pro and cons of Dacia springer. Does that app work so you can pre heat your car in the winter? Loved your video about the battery. I was not aware that you have to ask how many % charging the guarantee covers. Very important point. So thank you so much for that 😊😊👍👍♥️♥️
yes, the car can be heated or cooled from the app (on / off only so you have to set the temperature in the car before you close the car but generally in the summer you will leave it on cool, and in the winter on warm and that's it). pay attention to the level of equipment, the base car does not have app support. make sure to check which version you're getting if the app is important for your usage
Nice work 🙏
🙏
The power reduction on 30kw is because ECO mode. Turn off the ECO mode and you will have full power from 100% to 0%.
nope.. it reduced gradually due to the low state of charge of the cells. also turtle mode kicks in every time you press the pedal too hard and there is not enough available energy
Including this 41 km what was the total of KM for that specific charge?
So what was the total KM?
I didn't count the kms for that charge as that was not the idea of the video. But if you're driving carefully and have a consumption of about 10kwh/100km like i did, and you run from 100% to under 0% like i did, you can get about 280 to 300kms with the car.
Great review. Tks
Thanks. Glad you liked it
Eu am Confort Plus și cel mai mult am descărcat-o până la 2%. Pornisem cu aproximativ 18km range si aveam 11km până la stația de încărcare. Mod ECO, temperatura era aceeași ca in clip dar am avut de urcat rampă de 5-7% mai mult de jumătate din distanță. De pe la 5% afișat pe bord m-a limitat la max 35km/h cu aceleași mesaje de avertizare ca în clip.
Aventuri :) uite ca mai mergea .. 😊
Sunt limitari cand e bateria descarcata? Exista limita de viteza la 35 kmh?
Nu este limitat nimic decat puterea si accelerarea dar poti ajunge la 50 sau 60km/h daca e nevoie. Am clarificat asta in clip
could you tell me which app you use?
can ze plus
Salut. Ce e aplicatia de pe telefon pe care o folosesti?
Can ze. O sa fac un clip separat despre aplicatii in curand
Foarte tare!
Mersi
God job man. Bad thing is it only has 4 seats :-(
Thanks. It's a small city car.. 5 would be very cramped. 4 adults is just fine :)
Great job
Thnx
there was a really good yt video that i watched that explained how the percentage for batteries shown is just an approximation so its not real data since batteries dont have motherboard that can send their status information to the computer of the car or phone for that matter
Thank you very much! Very interesting! Have you charged it to 100%? For me, it would be interesting to know how much it was? Best regards
Thanks. See at the end of the video and the next video. But this was in the winter. In the summer the range is up tp 300km
Nu vad prea multe teste in conditii reale de exploatare: aer conditionat/caldura, radio, un telefon la incarcatt, faruri aprinse, stergatoare, dezaburire, sau alti consumatori, inca o persoana sau ceva bagaje/cumparaturi.
Hello! I found a Spring that had not been used for a year and the battery was at 3%. Was the battery damaged? Thank's for your response.
3% is not a good % to store a battery for long time. I would avoid it. Or if it's a really good deal, do some charge / discharge test if possible. If not, just skip it
@@electzro I charged the car, 100% - 210 km range. I should go with it to see how the mileage is running out and top it up again. I think 100/150 km would be enough.
Yes. Then you can measure approximately what degradation it has. It shluld he overall fine but still it might have some early degradation that only in 5-7 years will show up. Only consider buying it if it's cheaper than others..
@@electzro The decision is difficult, knowing that the car has been standing for so long and has never been charged. The warranty is there if there is a problem, but how can it be that it is too discharged and they can see it somewhere?
@mikloskalman2841 yes it's difficult. It only makes sence if it's a lot cheaper than others on the market like i said. Cars like tesla will be able to show from logs that the car wa sitting at low SOC % for long but Dacia Spring probably has no such logs
I would be interested if it happens with the "orange normal Spring", not the car sharing, maybe there is a bigger gap between them. I can imagine, with summer tire and in normal temperature 10-20°C would it be 50-60 km:))))
i will try to do the test again now in the summer :) i won't have access to the "orange" spring but they should be the same, although they are using different codes of batteries. see another video i did... :)
Great video. One question about the battery controller. Did you notice any change on the range numbers after this test? Still accurate?
@Carlos Cruz thanks. no change. the range at absolute 100% was about 225km so the BMS and the trip computer would still not calculate the values that are hidden from the user so the bottom and top buffers.
Nais Inglis !!! Spor !
Senk iu :)) 🙏
Good. When vehicle gets older, this margin is likely reduced. Not range when 100%.
Great video! But I think you should make them shorter, 10-15 min :)
It did turn out a bit long didn't it ? :)
I guess these 40 km come from the bottom buffer of the battery which is not good to deplete. Might be wrong though :)
yes, the bottom buffer which in other cars is not this big. definitely not good to do this. i don't recommend it. just wanted to do this test to have the numbers. i've done another video right after this one about the battery. check it out.
Is it air cooled battery or liquid? And what's city breaking?
Air cooled. Automatic breaking in case of accident to avoid collision.
@@electzro thank you ❤️
🙏
Imagine using your Spring and adding charge from a Jackery solar power station (or ecoflow) ! I imagine these in folding solar panels to block the sun on the rear windows(like these covers for the sun)
yeah that sounds like a great solution for a weekend adventure in the woods or in the mountains. you can't charge the car while driving but when you are stopped and camping... sure it's a great solution. shout out @jackeryinc and @EcoFlowTech if they want to sponsor something like this :)
Amazing video! so, after this test, and all the km you did with 0%, which is the "real" autonomy of the car? hehe
thanks. depends on how you drive it. if you drive it carefully from 100% until it stops it's over 300 km. if you drive it on the highway it's less than 200 km... this is true of any electric car.
Do you test the range after charge? Did the bms changed it?
I didn't test the range after. There was no need to. What would have the BMS change? I don't understand
@@electzro usually when you take the car below 0% it usually enable more capacity on bms, like it learn from it
@Alexandre Martinho - not really. the capacity is there, just the dashboard is not showing it to you to protect the battery. after you charge the car, it "disappears" again. the BMS will not learn the bigger capacity in this case. balancing and calibration is something else.
After having a problem with the battery a few weeks ago, i prefer a old school manual hanrdbreak against a park position for driving
Yeah, i understand.. also it's a lot more fun in the snow ! 😅
@@electzro with wheels that slim I'd rather not 🤣
Merci pour cet essai
"la réservé de courant" doit être de 3 bons kWh ,donc plus de 10% de la capacité de la batterie.
Bonne continuation à vous
yes, about 3kWh. total capacity is about 30kWh.
are you charging at 22kw or 50kw?
do you have data on how much it costed you to charge it from 0 to 100 in a public charging station at 22kw and at 50kw?
Thank you.
50kw dc
Price will depend on what network you use to charge up the car. Prices differ from one charging network to the other.
just wanted to get an idea how much it costed you on that particular charge. thanks
👍
Please what is the range of this car?
150 to 250 km. depending on the weather and driving conditions / style.
the question is how long can it drive fully charged...adding of course the 40km after the 0 hits
Close to 300km if you really strech it but 250km no problem
@@electzro still far away from your average diesel 1029km
That's impressive, when I rented one I was so afraid by the range, expected that like for a smartphone at 0% it would just shut down, it's great that there is some safety range like that.
No please do more videos in english, first your english is excellent and second, the market for english videos is a lot bigger + most of your romanian viewers are probably highly educated and can understand what you say in english very well...
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, the car batteries are not like phone batteries that just stop at 0%. Most cars will go on for 5-10kms on 0%. But i wasn't expecting 40kms either :)
Unde mai pui ca e iarna, vara cred ca merge mai mult
Corect. Am si zis asta in video.. probabil inca 5 sau 10km in plus. Poate mai fac o data testul la 15 grade :)
@@electzro Stiu, la sfarsit ai zis. Dar eu scrisesem mesajul inainte. Asteptam sa refaci testul la primavara. Multumim
Mersi. O sa incerc neaparat! 😊
excellent test,but not recommended-deepdischarging to absolutezero willkillthe battery😮
Hi,
How many kw did you put in? (From 0 to 100)
hi. please see the next video on my channel. it's exactly about this and more ! thnx.
Batteries should never be decharged completely. The optimal decharging point for lithium batteries about 80%. Otherwise your batteries Will eventually die and stop recharging. Thats why the manufacturer put the limit to 20%.never decharge beyond that limit it significantly reduces the battery lifespan
yes... i never said you should do it. i did this so you don't have to...
Fain test. Mersi ca l-ai facut tu ca sa nu il fac eu :) Intrebare: cati KHW ai incarcat pana la 100%?
Mersi. Am postat acuma un clip fix cu kwh pana la 100%.
