Dacia Spring EV now available for just £195 per month on Octopus subscription

Octopus Electric Vehicles is revolutionising the world of electric cars by offering the Dacia Spring electric supermini at an incredible price of just £195 a month for salary sacrifice customers. This enticing deal includes not only the car itself but also an installed home charger, insurance, maintenance, and access to Octopus Electroverse – a charging roaming service with access to over 850,000 chargers, all conveniently paid for using just one card and app.

With an initial order of 50 units of the fully electric hatchback, Octopus Electric Vehicles is making the Spring even more accessible and affordable. Already known as the UK’s most budget-friendly new electric car, the Dacia Spring is now also one of the best value electric vehicles available for lease.

Launching alongside the arrival of the first Dacia Springs on UK roads, this incredible leasing deal challenges the misconception that electric cars are out of reach for the average driver. The offer is aimed at those looking to keep their motoring costs low and for individuals interested in trying out their first electric vehicle.

Through the salary sacrifice scheme, drivers can lease a car through their employer, paying for it using their gross salary and saving up to 40% on income tax and national insurance. This makes switching to an electric car even more appealing and financially advantageous.

Alvin Castillo, the head of procurement at Octopus Electric Vehicles, emphasised the importance of increasing the options for drivers seeking the right electric vehicle for them. He stated, “New EV models are hitting UK roads every month, providing drivers with a choice to help find the car that is the right fit for them. Being able to get a new electric car for less than £200 a month is a gamechanger – opening up clean, affordable driving for drivers that previously wouldn’t have been able to switch.”

The Dacia Spring offers a WLTP combined range of up to 137 miles, making it a practical choice for daily commutes and urban driving. Available in Expression and Extreme specifications, this five-door supermini comes equipped with a range of features including a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster, cruise control, manual air conditioning, rear parking sensors, Media Control system with USB port, electric front windows, and remote central locking.

Charging the 26.8kWh battery from 20% to 100% using a 7kW home charger takes just four hours, ensuring convenient and efficient charging at home.

Luke Broad, the Dacia brand director for the UK, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership with Octopus Electric Vehicles, highlighting the affordability and practicality of the Dacia Spring for fleet customers. He stated, “With such an affordable price and compact size, we knew the Spring would be perfect for many fleet customers. We love that leasing via Octopus Electric Vehicles makes switching to an EV so easy and accessible, allowing more UK drivers to get behind the wheel of a highly efficient and usable car at a very attractive cost.”
