With a 25.0 kWh usable battery, it delivers a real-world range of 165 km, tailored for short commutes and daily urban use. Weighing just over 1000 kg, the Spring’s efficiency stands at 152 Wh/km, making it one of the most energy-efficient EVs on the market. It features a 33 kW (45 PS) motor with 125 Nm of torque, achieving a modest 0–100 km/h in 19.1 seconds, ideal for city roads.
While its long-distance suitability is limited, it supports 34 kW DC fast charging, reaching 80% in 38 minutes, and includes Autocharge functionality. Priced from £14,995 in the UK and €18,950 in the Netherlands, it is one of the most accessible electric vehicles in Europe.
