\n

Dacia already makes a small, cheap (relatively speaking) electric car, and it\u2019s called the Spring<\/a>. Good one, too. But now it has announced that it is building an entirely new and different small, cheap (relatively speaking) electric car, and it\u2019s called the\u2026 well, we don\u2019t know yet.<\/p>\n

Chiefly because this small, cheap new electric car is part of Dacia\u2019s shiny new plan that\u2019ll see four new EVs launched by 2030; a plan it calls \u201cconfident and decisive\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Decisive because this new tiny EV was apparently developed in less than 16 months, and confident because Dacia will charge less than \u20ac18,000 for it. That\u2019s sub-\u00a315.5k.<\/p>\n

We know it\u2019ll use the same \u2018AmpR Small\u2019 platform that underpins the brilliant little Renault 5<\/a>, but we don\u2019t of course know what it\u2019ll look like.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So we sincerely hope<\/em> it\u2019ll use the same design language that underpins the brilliant little Hipster<\/a> revealed last October (pictured above). That kei car-inspired concept was basically a dinky, pared-back box on wheels \u2013 Dacia\u2019s take on the original Mini \u2013 and we\u2019re all here to see a production version of it.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Dacia\u2019s shiny plan: there\u2019ll be this EV, that new Striker<\/a>, a hybrid next-gen Sandero, and more LPG and 4×4 derivatives. More as we get it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
