All about the Smart ForTwo Electric Drive
No longer available
This electric vehicle is no longer in production and not available to buy new. The Smart ForTwo Electric Drive was available from March 2017 until April 2018. Financial data like price, leasing and company car tax were applicable to the final year of availability of the Smart ForTwo Electric Drive.
A new model of the Smart ForTwo Electric Drive (2017) is available: Smart EQ fortwo coupe (2018).
Pricing
The Smart ForTwo Electric Drive had a Recommend Retail Price (RRP) of £20,565 and an On The Road Price (OTR) of £20,920. The OTR Price includes VAT, first year of VED, vehicle first registration fee, number plates and delivery. The Smart ForTwo Electric Drive was eligible for a Plug-In Car Grant (PICG) of £4,500. The OTR Price including the PICG for the Smart ForTwo Electric Drive is £16,420.
Drivetrain and Performance
The Smart ForTwo Electric Drive is a full electric vehicle (BEV). The maximum power of the Smart ForTwo Electric Drive is 60 kW (80 hp). The maximum torque is 118 lb-ft. The Smart ForTwo Electric Drive is rear wheel drive and can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 11.5 seconds. The top speed is 81 mph.
Battery and Charging
The battery of the Smart ForTwo Electric Drive has a total capacity of 17.6 kWh. The usable capacity is 16.7 kWh (estimate). A range of about 60 miles is achievable on a fully charged battery. The actual range will however depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style.
For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in a range of around 40 mi. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the range to around 100 mi.
Charging is done using a Type 2 connector and the on-board charger has a maximum power of 7.4 kW. This charges a fully depleted battery back to full in around 2 hours 45 minutes. Charging the car using a regular wall plug will take around 8 hours 45 minutes.
Rapid charging is not possible.
Energy Consumption
The combined (motorway and city) energy consumption of the Smart ForTwo Electric Drive is about 278 Wh per mile. By comparison, this energy consumption is the equivalent of a fuel consumption of 145 mpg in a traditional petrol car.
The actual energy consumption will depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style. For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in an energy use of around 418 Wh per mile. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the efficiency to about 167 Wh per mile.
CO2 Emission
The Smart ForTwo Electric Drive emits no CO2 during driving. This only includes direct emissions from the vehicle itself. The energy needed to charge the battery might have been (partly) generated by the use of fossil fuels. Vehicles with an internal combustion engine will always emit CO2 during driving. Additionally, CO2 is emitted during the production and transport of fossil fuels.
