List of Electric Cars - 06 - 2013 Smart Electric Drive
The 2013 Smart Electric Drive takes the ForTwo subcompact hatchback and subjects it to a full electrification. The end result is that the Smart Electric Drive (which can be ordered in both coupe and convertible editions) maintains the personalization and styling of the original ForTwo but adds 68 miles of all-electric cruising range, with batteries that can be topped up in about six hours from its available 240-volt SPX home charging station. Despite its top speed of 78-mph, the Smart, like its Mitsubishi i-MiEV competitor, is essentially designed for city use, but it does come with 74 horsepower and 96 lb-ft of torque to help it get out of its own way, along with 45 cubic feet of hauling space inside its tiny cabin.
