  • With the new fast charger (optional extra available from 2017) the car can be charged in less than 45 minutes (from 0 to 80%)
  • The 17.6 kWh lithium-ion battery from the Daimler subsidiary Deutsche ACCUMOTIVE is housed in the vehicle underbody in a safe position that is favourable for the vehicle's centre of gravity
  • The ECO mode is a particularly energy-efficient drive program. The radar-based recuperation controls the energy recovery depending on the traffic situation
  • With the "smart control" app lots of electric drive information can be called up via smartphone, tablet or PC and functions such as pre-entry climate control or intelligent charging can be conveniently controlled remotely
  • In addition to the extensive standard equipment of the model series, the #smartelectricdrive models also come with a dashboard instrument with power meter and battery status display and the Audio & Cool package. The winter package with a heated steering wheel for maximum thermal comfort is available as an exclusive option for the electric drive models
  • The electric drive design package (option) gives the vehicle an expressive look. Among other features the tridion safety cell and door mirror caps are painted in exclusive electric green
  • With eye-catching design details in electric #green the special model #smartelectricdrive greenflash is a further exciting highlight for the market launch
  • This is already the fourth generation of electric drive for #smart. With the start of the first electrically driven test fleet back in 2007 in London, #smart took on a pioneering role in the field of electric mobility
  • Following the world premiere in Paris, the new #smart fortwo electric drive will be launched in the USA in early 2017. This will be followed by market launch of the two-seater and four-seater in Europe
  • In Germany prices for the #smart fortwo electric drive will start at €21,940 (recommended retail price including 19% VAT). When the environmental bonus is taken into account this means that it will cost less than €18,000
