Dacia EV Charging Cables

Type 2 charging cables for the Dacia range. lead like everything else, but the battery is small and the onboard charger is not fast, so this is the one car on our site where the cheapest cable is genuinely the right one.

Choosing the right cable for your Dacia

Dacia sells one plug-in car in Britain and it is the cheapest electric car on the market. The Spring's specification is modest by design, and that has a direct consequence for what you should spend on a cable: less than you would for almost any other EV.

Connector spec by model

  • Spring (2021+): Type 2. 6.6kW AC on later cars, 3.7kW on earlier ones. 26.8kWh battery. 30kW DC on trims that have it.
  • Duster Hybrid, Jogger Hybrid: self-charging hybrids with no plug. These need no cable at all.

Only the Spring plugs in

Dacia's other hybrids charge their own batteries from the engine and brakes. They have no charge port and nothing on this page applies to them. It is worth checking, because "hybrid" on a Dacia badge does not mean plug-in.

A 26.8kWh battery is the smallest on this site

At 6.6kW that is around four hours from empty, and on an early 3.7kW car about seven. Either way it fits inside a night comfortably. There is no version of the Spring that can use a 32amp supply in full, and none at all that can use three-phase, so the 22kW cable would be money spent on capacity the car physically cannot draw.

Spend the difference on length

Because the rating question is settled, the only variable left is reach. A 10m lead that gets to the far side of the drive is worth more to a Spring owner every day than a power rating the car ignores. This is one of the few cars where we would actively steer you towards the cheaper cable and the longer one.

The 3-pin lead is unusually practical here

On a battery this small, 2.3kW from a household socket puts a genuinely useful amount in overnight, which is not true of a 70kWh car. For an owner without a wallbox the Spring is one of the few EVs where that is a workable arrangement rather than an emergency measure.

Length recommendations

10m as a default, 5m only if the wallbox is beside the parking space. Compare across our Type 2 charging cables.

What we stock for Dacia

  • Type 2 to Type 2 cables from 5m to 20m, with 3.6kW and 7.2kW the relevant ratings.
  • Type 2 to 3-pin Mode 2 leads, a realistic primary charger on a Spring.

Questions

What cable does the Dacia Spring need?
A Type 2 lead. The 16amp or 32amp single-phase cable both cover it, and neither is a compromise given the car's onboard charger.
Should I buy the 22kW three-phase cable?
No. No version of the Spring can draw anywhere near that, so it is capacity the car physically cannot use.
Does a Dacia Duster Hybrid need a cable?
No. Dacia's other hybrids charge their own batteries and have no charge port. Only the Spring plugs in.
Can I charge a Spring from a household socket?
Yes, and more practically than on most EVs. At 2.3kW a 26.8kWh battery gains a useful amount overnight.
How long does a full charge take?
Around four hours at 6.6kW on a later car, or about seven on an early 3.7kW example.
