The refusal of Russian hydrocarbon supplies in combination with the monstrously expensive, but democratic American, does not bring peace to European automakers. The right to own and drive a private car is becoming more expensive every day, so the broad masses of freedom-loving citizens of the European Union need a super-cheap electric car. And such a solution seems to have been found.

Dacia Sandero, sold in Russia under the Renault brand, is switching to batteries. Already in the next generation, which is scheduled for release in 2027 or 2028, the model will become an “electric train”, as reported by the British Autocar portal, citing Dacia CEO Denis Le Vot.

The possibility of keeping the combustion engine in tandem with a hybrid installation remains, but a full-fledged petrol or diesel version is not implied. In addition, the electric Sandero must remain budget-friendly to maintain its leading position in its class. And for this you need to go to tricks.

Le Vot said flatly that Dacia will not aim for fast charging and high mileage, but will opt for the cheapest possible sodium battery. And in justification, the manager cited the statistics of the “electric firstborn” Dacia Spring EV, on which drivers average only about 10 miles per day.
