• Octopus Electric Vehicles has ordered its first batch of All-New Dacia Spring 100% electric cars, available from just £195 per month under salary sacrifice

• As one of the UK's most affordable top 10 cars and the UK's most affordable new electric car, the All-New Dacia Spring makes switching to electric motoring accessible to more people

The All-New Dacia Spring, already one of the UK's most affordable cars and the UK's most affordable new electric car is also going to be the best value EV to lease thanks to Octopus Electric Vehicles' first order for its salary sacrifice scheme.

From £195 a month, the All-New Dacia Spring appeals to anyone who wants to keep their motoring costs low or maybe want to try their first EV, changing the game by addressing the usual complaint that electric cars are more expensive.

Salary sacrifice allows drivers to lease a car through their employer – paying through their gross salary and saving up to 40% on income tax and national insurance.

The five-door supermini will be available from Octopus Electric Vehicles in Expression and Extreme specifications, both offering a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, cruise control, manual air conditioning, rear parking sensors, Media Control system with USB port, electric front windows and remote central locking. Its 26.8 kWh battery can be charged from 20% to 100% in just four hours using a 7kW home charger.

Under Octopus' scheme, drivers are provided with everything they need to take the road within one price – including the car, installed home charger, insurance, maintenance and access to Octopus Electroverse, a charging roaming service with access to over 850,000 chargers, paid for with one card and app.

With a range of 137 miles (WLTP mixed cycle) or 186 miles (WLTP urban cycle), the All-New Dacia Spring will be a really viable EV for many people who want a car to commute to work, to use for their work or as an extra car that fits within a certain budget.

Luke Broad, Dacia Brand Director for the UK, said: 'With such an affordable price and compact size, we knew the Spring would be perfect for many fleet customers. We love that leasing via Octopus Electric Vehicles makes switching to an EV so easy and accessible, allowing more UK drivers to get behind the wheel of a highly efficient and usable car at a very attractive cost.'

Alvin Castillo, Head of Procurement at Octopus Electric Vehicles commented: 'New EV models are hitting UK roads every month, providing drivers with a choice to help find the car that is the right fit for them. Being able to get a new electric car for less than £200 a month is a gamechanger – opening up clean, affordable driving for drivers that previously wouldn't have been able to switch.'

The first All-New Spring models are due to be on UK roads this month.
