Real Range Estimation between 45 - 105 mi

City - Cold Weather * 65 mi
Highway - Cold Weather * 45 mi
Combined - Cold Weather * 55 mi
City - Mild Weather * 105 mi
Highway - Mild Weather * 60 mi
Combined - Mild Weather * 75 mi
Indication of real-world range in several situations. Cold weather: 'worst-case' based on -10°C and use of heating. Mild weather: 'best-case' based on 23°C and no use of A/C.

Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)

Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Smart ForTwo Electric Drive. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.

Europe

Charging an EV in Europe differs by country. Some European countries primarily use 1-phase connections to the grid, while other countries are almost exclusively using a 3-phase connection. The table below shows all possible ways the Smart ForTwo Electric Drive can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)
Charging Point Max. Power Power Time Rate
Standard 3.3 kW On-Board Charger
Wall Plug (2.3 kW) 230V / 1x10A 2.3 kW 8h45m 7 mph
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW) 230V / 1x14A 3.3 kW † 6 hours 11 mph
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW) 230V / 1x14A 3.3 kW † 6 hours 11 mph
3-phase 16A (11 kW) 230V / 1x14A 3.3 kW † 6 hours 11 mph
3-phase 32A (22 kW) 230V / 1x14A 3.3 kW † 6 hours 11 mph
Optional 22.0kW On-Board Charger
Wall Plug (2.3 kW) 230V / 1x10A 2.3 kW 8h45m 7 mph
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW) 230V / 1x16A 3.7 kW 5h30m 12 mph
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW) 230V / 1x32A 7.4 kW 2h45m 24 mph
3-phase 16A (11 kW) 400V / 3x16A 11 kW 2 hours 33 mph
3-phase 32A (22 kW) 400V / 3x32A 22 kW † 55 min 71 mph

† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.

Long Distance Suitability

How suitable an electric car is for long trips depends not only on the range. How quickly the car can charge plays an almost equally important role. Whether an EV is suitable for long trips depends on the battery capacity, efficiency, and fast charging capability.

To easily compare cars among each other, a benchmark has been established that combines these factors into the total distance a vehicle can cover with one 15-minute charging stop: the '1-Stop Range'. Based on the 1-Stop Range, the 5-star rating is determined. The result of the benchmark is shown in the graph below.
