Renault moves Dacia Spring EV production to Europe for subsidies

Renault's Dacia brand is relocating the production of its Dacia Spring electric vehicle from China to Europe, specifically to Novo Mesto, Slovenia. This strategic move aims to make the Spring eligible for local subsidies, potentially lowering its price to as little as €12,200 after incentives. The redesigned Spring features updated aesthetics, a slightly larger interior, and a 27.5kWh battery offering 155 miles of WLTP range, positioning it as Europe's most affordable EV. AI
