Jesus 180km is a shocking small range if you do anything outside of city/town driving

the average daily distance a person in ireland who drives a petrol car is 47.5km, 65.7km for diesel drivers. 

for the average person the cars range is more than enough to go about 3 days before having to plug it in, although a lot of people will probably top it up every evening.

Yeah that's fair enough. I'd probably be a good bit above that average unfortunately on some days

Be great if it does make a dent in the market. Badly needed

Quite a lot of people actually. It's the 5th best selling car brand in the country this year.

Not me anyway but I've always been into my cars and bikes. But I get why people have taken to Dacia, it might be made from parts that Renault used 10 years ago but to some people it represents a reliable new car under warranty. If it gives the same people an entry to EV's then it's welcome.
 
I will say though that the Dacia Logan is the most generic looking car ever made (like something from a GTA game!) and I've always wondered what kind of people buy them!

Plenty of people just want/need a car and couldn’t care less about the way it looks once it gets them from A to B and occasionally C and is affordable.

Ah I was joking about Dacia. Took the duster on a test drive and it was a grand. Don't think I would drive one myself though.
