Is the Dacia Spring reliable?

The Spring's drivetrain is simple, but Fiches-auto.fr records the charger and charging port as the category with the most testimonies (17 out of 73), and about nine serious alerts for the traction battery; the motor barely features. The sample is made up of voluntary reviews.[1]

Is the Stellantis e-CMP (e-208, Corsa-e, ë-C4…) reliable?

Stellantis’s electric drivetrain has no serious factory faults documented: the battery holds up well (median 94% health at 50,000 km and 90.7% at 150,000 km in the e-208 and Corsa-e), and the problems cited are the charger and several software campaigns.[2][3][4]
