All 1 Known Issues
On the 2021-2025 Dacia Spring Electric, the Dacia Spring EV (built in China by Renault-Dongfeng JV) suffers significant 12V auxiliary battery drain during long parking — owners report up to 80% drain in a single week of inactivity, sometimes preventing the car from starting. Root cause is parasitic draw from a safety feature meant to preserve the 12V system in cold weather. Separately (not the same fix), Dacia issued a charger-related recall affecting 1,700+ Springs for a software bug that could trigger a dashboard alert and prevent start — confirm whether your VIN was included.
Common Symptoms
- will not wake
- dead 12V
- will not charge
How to Fix
Check recall status (Dacia.co.uk/recall-campaigns lists current actions). Update vehicle software at dealer. Use 12V maintainer if leaving parked over 1 week. Some owners report success with a simple battery isolator switch on the 12V negative for storage stretches over a month. AGM replacement €100-€180 + €30-€60 coding.
