Wondering what separates a full hybrid from mild hybrid, and an electric car from a plug-in hybrid? Here's a plain-English guide.
We feature frequently asked questions about electrified Dacia driving below. If your query isn't answered, don’t hesitate to contact the team at Johnsons Dacia in Oxford today.
Yes. Electric cars use single‑speed transmission, so they drive like traditional automatics. This means the Dacia Spring delivers smooth, simple acceleration without gear changes.
A hybrid car combines a petrol engine with an electric motor. Dacia’s full and mild hybrids use self‑charging batteries to boost efficiency, lower emissions and deliver smoother, more responsive everyday driving.
Compared to hybrids, plug‑in hybrids use larger batteries that require external charging, enabling meaningful electric‑only driving for short trips. While they work well alongside petrol power, Dacia currently champions simple, self‑charging hybrid technology.
Charging times vary according to charger type. For example, using a DC connector, the Dacia Spring charges from 20% to 80% in 45 minutes.
Electrified cars offer lower running costs, quieter performance and zero or reduced emissions. Dacia’s all‑electric Spring and hybrid Jogger, Duster and Bigster make choosing cleaner driving simple, affordable and perfectly suited to daily life.
Pure electric cars use a battery and motor to power the wheels, allowing the Dacia Spring to deliverinstant torque, smooth acceleration and zero exhaust emissions.
Hybrid cars switch seamlessly between electric and petrol power. Dacia’s self‑charging systems recover energy while driving, helping reduce fuel use without changing your routine.
Electric cars produce zero exhaust emissions and help reduce urban pollution. Choosing a model like the Dacia Spring supports cleaner, quieter driving across Oxford and beyond.
