Side-by-Side Specs
| Spec | Dacia Spring | Fiat Grande Panda |
|---|---|---|
| Battery (approx.) | ~25 kWh | ~44 kWh |
| WLTP range (rated) | ~230 km | ~320 km |
| Efficiency (approx.) | ~152 Wh/km | ~168 Wh/km |
| Max DC charging | up to 34 kW | up to 100 kW |
| 10-80% charge time (approx.) | ~38 min | ~26 min |
| Max AC charging | up to 6.6 kW | up to 7.4 kW |
| DC connector | CCS2 | CCS2 |
Charging Speed
The Fiat Grande Panda has a peak DC charging speed of 100 kW, which is roughly 194% faster than the Dacia Spring at 34 kW. In practice, peak speed only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.
For the 10-80% charge (the most common DC fast charging scenario), the Fiat Grande Panda finishes in about 26 minutes, which is 12 minutes quicker than the Dacia Spring at 38 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The Fiat Grande Panda has a WLTP rated range of approximately 320 km, which is roughly 90 km more than the Dacia Spring at approximately 230 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.
Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Dacia Spring consumes 152 Wh/km, compared to 168 Wh/km for the Fiat Grande Panda. That means the Dacia Spring uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.
A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Fiat Grande Panda has approximately 44 kWh of useable battery , while the Dacia Spring has approximately 25 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
If fast charging speed is your priority, the Fiat Grande Panda wins on both peak power (up to 100 kW) and time at the plug (approximately 26 minutes from 10-80%). For long road trips with multiple charging stops, that faster turnaround makes a real difference.
For AC charging (home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public street chargers), the Fiat Grande Panda supports up to 7.4 kW, compared to 6.6 kW for the Dacia Spring. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can mean charging roughly twice as fast at those locations.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Dacia Spring is the more efficient choice at 152 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the Fiat Grande Panda has a WLTP rated range of approximately 320 km, which is roughly 90 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
