{"product_id":"dacia-spring-charging-cable","title":"Dacia Spring Charging Cable","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Dacia Spring is the cheapest electric car on sale in Britain, and it is also the unusual one that does not quietly oblige you to buy a wallbox before it makes sense. Its AC charging tops out at \u003cstrong\u003e6.6 kW\u003c\/strong\u003e, a figure Dacia rounds up to 7 kW in its own literature, and every Spring registered here shares it: the current Electric 70 and Electric 100, and the earlier Spring 45 and Spring 65 alongside them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStart with the cheapest option, because on this car it is a real one. Our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/type-2-to-3-pin-charging-cables\"\u003eType 2 to 3-Pin cable\u003c\/a\u003e draws 2.3 kW out of a standard household socket and returns around thirteen miles of range an hour. Plug the Spring in at six in the evening, unplug it at six the next morning, and you have put back roughly 155 miles against a car that holds 140 miles of WLTP range in total. Twelve hours covers empty to full. For a second car, a flat with a garage socket, or someone whose week is a school run and a supermarket, that is not a fallback. It is a charging method, and it costs nothing to install. The cable is IP67 sealed, so it can live outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere there is a wallbox, the Spring connects to it with a \u003cstrong\u003eType 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its socket is a CCS Combo 2 unit, and the Type 2 upper section is the part your cable goes into, matching every home wallbox and every untethered public post in the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/type-2-charging-cables\"\u003e32A single-phase Type 2 to Type 2 cable\u003c\/a\u003e is the quickest sensible choice. Rated at 7.4 kW, it sits comfortably above anything the Spring asks for, so the car helps itself to its full 6.6 kW and goes from empty to full in about four and a quarter hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 16A cable is also perfectly adequate on a Spring, which is not something we can say about most of the cars we sell for. At 3.7 kW the battery needs seven and a half hours from empty, and seven and a half hours still fits inside a night with room to spare. The only thing you give up is daytime turnaround. Get home at five with the battery flat and something on that evening: the 32A cable has you ready by quarter past nine, the 16A cable keeps you waiting until half past midnight. If that scenario never happens to you, the cheaper cable is the right answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNobody driving a Spring should buy the 22 kW three-phase cable. The onboard charger runs on a single phase and stops at 6.6 kW, so extra phases give it nothing to work with. The charge takes exactly as long and the cable costs more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSee the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/dacia-ev-charging-cables\"\u003eDacia charging cable range\u003c\/a\u003e for every cable that fits the Spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLength deserves a moment of thought here, because the Spring's charge port is not where you would expect. It is set into the \u003cstrong\u003ecentre of the nose, behind the Dacia badge\u003c\/strong\u003e. Drive nose first at the wallbox and 5m tends to reach, helped by how short the car is. Reverse onto the drive and the cable has to travel the whole body before it even arrives at the socket, so 10m is the buy that will not disappoint. Measure with the Spring standing exactly as you leave it overnight, not as you would ideally like to park it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDacia Spring Charging Times by Generation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDacia Spring Electric 70 and Electric 100, 2026 on, 24.3 kWh, up to 140 miles WLTP\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaximum onboard AC charging speed: 6.6 kW, single phase\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax Charge Rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to Full\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange Added Per Hour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVerdict\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 -

Dacia publishes no usable number for the newer battery, so those times run slightly long. Both generations are rated at 140 miles WLTP and share an onboard charger, which is why the cable advice does not change between them. Range added per hour is a mild weather number. The figure drops in winter and at motorway pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDacia Spring Charging Cable FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich charging cable should I buy for a Dacia Spring?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy a 32A single-phase Type 2 to Type 2 cable for a Dacia Spring if you have a wallbox. It lets the car take the full 6.6 kW its charger accepts and clears the battery from empty in roughly four and a quarter hours, well inside an off-peak window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I run a Dacia Spring on a three-pin socket alone?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, most Dacia Spring owners can run the car on a three-pin socket alone. At 2.3 kW it collects about thirteen miles of range an hour, so a twelve hour overnight session returns roughly 155 miles to a car that only holds 140 miles of range. A wallbox is quicker and more flexible, but the Spring does not depend on having one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs a 16A cable enough for a Dacia Spring?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 16A cable is enough for a Dacia Spring, and that is an honest verdict rather than a polite one. It refills the battery from empty in seven and a half hours, which one night absorbs easily. Paying for 32A buys four and a quarter hours instead, and with it the option of recharging in the middle of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need a three-phase cable for a Dacia Spring?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, a Dacia Spring never needs a three-phase cable. Its onboard charger is single phase and capped at 6.6 kW, so three phases deliver precisely the same charge speed as the single-phase 32A cable while costing you more to buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhere is the charging port on a Dacia Spring?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe charging port on a Dacia Spring sits in the centre of the nose, hidden behind the Dacia badge, rather than on a wing. It is an unusual place for it and there is a practical consequence: reversing onto a driveway leaves the entire length of the car between your wallbox and the socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat length cable reaches a Dacia Spring?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5m reaches a Dacia Spring in plenty of cases, because the car is short and the port is right at the front, provided you park nose in toward the wallbox. Choose 10m if you reverse in, use a shared bay, or want the reach to cover a neighbouring space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur cables are built to IEC 62196 Type 2 with CE and TUV certification, rated from -30C to 55C, IP55 on the Type 2 to Type 2 and IP67 on the Type 2 to 3-Pin.
