  "account": "The Dacia Spring, Renault's Romanian subsidiary's new generation of electric compact car, is set to enter its second round at the beginning of December. While it costs 1,000 Euros more than its predecessor, the new Spring now starts at a minimum of 17,900 Euros, according to the manufacturer. However, there is no other electric car available at this price point, boast the Romanians, despite the fact that production has been moved from China to Europe for the generational change.\n\nThe Spring has visibly grown in length and width, now measuring nearly 3.86 meters, with each dimension being more than ten centimeters larger than its predecessor. The vehicle has moved to the platform of Renault's new Twingo and provides four occupants with significantly more space. The trunk can hold between 337 and 1,283 liters, with an optional 18-liter front trunk available for an additional charge. The vehicle's range of up to 250 kilometers is shared with a 60 kW/82 PS electric motor that can accelerate the car from a standstill to 100 km/h in 12.1 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 130 km/h. Most of the space is shared with an equally grown 27.5 kWh battery, for which Dacia estimates a minimum range of 250 kilometers. The standard charging port is a 6.6 kW AC connection, with higher charging rates available on request, including 11 kW at AC and 50 kW at DC. The vehicle can also discharge energy like a power bank to external devices.",
  "summary": "It gets a bit bigger, drives a little further and makes a bit more. But although it also becomes €1000 more expensive, it is likely to continue not being a cheaper electric car than the Dacia Spring.",
