The new Spring is decent value in the European context, but still around twice the price as it is in China! I agree it would have been nice to see a larger and LFP-based battery. Does anyone else get the feeling that these new GSR2 regs are over-reaching? Surely there should be tiers of vehicle weight and power level where only a sub-set of the regs is madatory. I can see emergency breaking being universally useful, but lane keep assist & driver attention warning? Surely these mainly add expense and complexity making cars more costly for everyone. |

The more demanding GSR2 safety standards are very welcome. Dacia says that the new Spring only weighs 6 kg more than the previous version, despite all the ADAS equipment added. Lane keep assist is great not only for fast highway driving, but also for boring stop-and-go slow traffic. I would even go further, asking for a head-up display and a dashcam (for insurance benefits). |

Since there is no intend to go big range why not Na-ion? Long term this will be cheaper tech. Pedro, Renault firstly denied LFP, do you have any info if they will change this with Spring/Twingo in the future? |

Yes, Na-ion would be a good option for its battery in the next upgrade. It's wise to wait at least a year or two until this battery chemistry becomes mature. Who knows what are Renault's plans. Carmakers seem to change strategies very often regarding electric cars. Anyway, module-less and cobalt-free battery packs are what make sense today, especially in small and affordable electric cars. The BYD Seagull will be the small electric car that sets the standards in its segment. |
