Have you tested the maximum hill gradient the Dacia Spring can climb? I live in an area were highways can get up to 16% gradient and some streets up to 30%.
You shouldn't have any issues! It can climb out of an underground garage even if you stop mid way, absolutelly no problem. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vRegtnI65SI.htmlsi=d3JK-tQ6SgGoaxyz It goes up this hill even in winter.
There is a video about a Nissan Leaf with low battery after 7 years. They just opened the battery case and replaced 2 moduls with new ones. It took them about an hour and was quit cheap. Replacement was easier than any rework on a combustion motor.
Of course it is, just imagine the entire time the car spends in the service, i am sure you will not get to spend more than a few hours with an electric car during its entire life time, just imagine no:pistons, rings, intercooler, turbo, oil, oil pumpz oil filter, injectors, common rail, pipes, vaccums, valves, sensors, etc.
do you have gps in the car? , if yes, can you program your trip according to charging stations?, thanks in advance, very informative the dacia videos so far.
I don’t own an EV and probably will not anytime soon yet I get range anxiety just by watching a video like this 🙈 You should make the same exact test each year and/or each 50k, curious how it will perform over the time (if it stays “decent”).
In the beginning, you charge the battery every day and you try not to get below 70 percent. After some month, you just check the battery when you come home and decide if you put the cable in or not. For long journeys you drive to 50 percent, then you check your app for the next fast charger whith a fast food restaurant. Normally it is a Mc Donalds. Then you charge and eat. Good thing is, no cold car in winter, you can heat it without motor.
You have not zeroed/reset the trip computer and the average consumption before testing at all. You also already had an average consumption of 18,6 kWh/100 km - overall for (probably) 515 kilometers - before testing. At the end of your testing the consumption increased FROM 18,6 kWh/100 km TO 19,2 kWh/100 km during your 13,1 kilometer ride up the mountain. The 19,2 kWh/100 km is NOT the average consumption on your 13 kilometer journey up to the ski resort. It is the average consumption overall, it's how efficient you are driving this car on (probably) 528 kilometers.
do they let you lease the battery like renault Zoe does? or when the battery is out within 7 years then its time to sell? In France, they let you lease the card vs traditional credit payment. I wonder which one you recommend since we all know battery degrades and would just die within 5-7 years period.
Hello, the battery is not leased, you pay for it and you own it. You have an 8 years warranty, if the battery health drops below 75% they replace the battery ,it does not have to die completly.
What’s your experience with range when driving on highways? Would you be able to drive 120km , let’s say around 100/110kmh on highways? Otherwise I think this car would be enough for me, but I still need to drive longer distance occasionally.
Hello, well i don't really drive it on the highway but when cruising with 90km/h the difference is not collosal. I have driven it with 140km/h with relative ease and no problem, the battery drain is however noticeable, it would decrease the range with probably 20% giving you a range of around 160-180 km at 20°C. I have driven it for a 200km route there and back and was left with 14% battery from around 96% with speeds up to 90-95km/h and relative temperature of 26°C.
@@Axter6 it was actually around 230 km that day, with a battery level to spare of 7% , when i went to charge it . Please consider the fact that i tried to be economic on this occasion, intermittent AC, no little to no pedal to the metal. It was daylight so no short beam.
sorry for the correction, you said "let's see how much of the power we can gain back", but as with any new EV owner you also seem to be confusing two terms: power and energy. power is a measure of energy transfer rate and is measured in Watts. So when you say power, you refer to the rate at which energy is transferred (consumed), not the energy itself. The energy itself is measured in WattHours, and is a physical quantity. You can consume (or gain back) energy, but you cannot consume nor gain back power
That is true, even though the unit of measurement is almost the same (namely) i obviously see the difference, thank you for the correction and noted for future remarks.
Hello, not really, the braking is not that agressive, it is a bit lighter and thus a little bit i asume less productive. You have to step on the brake to slow the car.
Ho impostato la lingua in inglese, quindi ora dovresti essere in grado di avere l'italiano come lingua dei sottotitoli. Non esiste una lingua più bella dell'italiano, purtroppo la stragrande maggioranza ha bisogno che il contenuto sia in inglese.
@@GarajPif Diferența de timp la care ajungi la viteza dorita între cele două moduri este destul de mare. Eu aș prefera să urc pe normal și să cobor pe eco
Where can you buy it? Where are you servicing it? What and whom gives you warranty? How much does it cost to ship it to Europe? How big are the import taxes?
