USED PRICES: How much should you pay for a second-hand Smart Fortwo Electric Drive? »
Introduction
With its diminuitive size and proven city car credentials the smart fortwo makes a sensible base for a pure electric vehicle, so it’s no surprise that smart is set to introduce this model in 2012.
The smart ed (electric drive) is powered by a rear mounted 30KW (40bhp) magneto-electric motor which produces 120Nm of torque. Drive is delivered through a single gear ratio to the rear wheels.
A full charge from empty takes eight hours and gives a theoretical range of 84 miles. The Tesla developed battery can be charged from any 220 Volt three -pin socket, providing it has a fuse.
Top-speed is limited to 62mph, so the smart ed isn’t suited to an out-of-town environment.
It’s about to finish a 12-month UK consumer trial, and should be available to buy from 2012.
