The forthcoming Dacia Spring is a very interesting model and I'll have a think about purchasing one next year. I've been very happy with my Dacia Sandero Bi-fuel. I really didn't think that there's a more economic car to drive but I've realised that the Spring can be re-fueled for free! I'm about to have a 14 panel solar array installed together with an inverter and 2 x 5kW batteries. That should provide adequate power to re-charge the Spring. Further, a smart-meter also allows the batteries to be topped-up with very cheap off-peak electricity if needed. The Dacia Spring is projected to have a sub-£20,000 price (and maybe quite a bit lower) and a range of around 140 miles. I think that I could manage with that because apart from holidays, I rarely exceed that ....
