After waiting almost a year to get a new copy of Dacia Spring, many drivers encountered several problems with the electric car made under the Mioveni brand.
On paper, the Dacia Spring is the perfect electric car. It has an affordable price, is environmentally friendly and is built under a local brand. Although it is assembled in China, many Romanians see it as a gesture of patriotism to turn to purchasing it. But the reality is a bit more complex than it seems at first glance and many drivers quickly forgot to smile after buying it.
Dacia Spring, significant problems
After a few days in which they felt they had made a deal when they turned to Dacia Spring, the drivers began to complain about loading problems. In theory, according to Dacia representatives, the problem in question occurs in only one in a hundred copies. In practice, if you are unlucky…
The bad news about Dacia Spring, but I’ll start with the price. The electric car came on the market with a purchase value of 18,100 euros, and now it sells for 21,400 euros. Even so, in 2021, no less than 27,800 copies reached drivers, while in 2022, the first five months of the year were enough for 16,000 deliveries. It will be interesting to see if, after the media coverage of the loading issues, sales will suffer.
“Good evening, my ladybug has come too! I have a problem. I can’t charge the car with either the household cable or the one from the charging stations! It simply switches on and goes on for a minute, after which it switches off and you’re done! I’m going to the show on Monday! Has anyone ever experienced something like this? ”, It is shown in the comment of one of the car owners on Facebook.
It didn’t take long for another Dacia Spring user to resonate with the same problem. “That’s what happened to me, I have the car with them for 7 days at the dealership, they said they have to change the charging relay,” someone explains on Facebook. “It simply came to our notice then. I went to them and they did a resofting. They told me that they have to change the charger on the battery (it should come this week) and very strange, now it charges me and I have no problem! ”, Was the reaction of another driver. “Yes. Make an appointment for service. He scheduled me after a month “, concluded another, accordingly ziare.com.
Dacia Spring, the solution to the loading problem
Drivers of Dacia Spring however, it seems that they are quite jumpy and it didn’t take long for more recommendations to be offered:
“Have you tried a charging station? Or is it only valid at your home? ”, Someone is interested.
“At 6 charging stations, tomorrow comes the platform from the dealer!”, States the author of the post.
“Disconnect the terminal from the 12V battery for a few minutes and reconnect it. Check back later. ”
“Before loading the car, check:
– that it is set to N (neutral)
– that the parking brake is applied
– that it is not locked ”
“I kept seeing in the posts that there is a special socket for electric cars, I also asked for clarifications but no one answered me.”
“Lift the parking brake and it will load.”
