smart forfour electric drive
Those who had expected the smart forfour electric drive to get a little more battery capacity than the fortwo, will be slightly disappointed. Also the Renault people restrain themselves with an electric version of the
Twingo, obviously with Twizy and ZOE enough E-cars in the portfolio.

However, the same equipment has the advantage that even the price only increases by a moderate 660 euros compared to the electric fortwo. As there are only three models, Smart can naturally claim that the entire
model range is fully electric, too. After all, electrical convertibles are really rare.
Another advantage: the interior size was taken over from the combustion model without any change. However, the battery capacity remains the same as the predecessor. On the other hand, the duration of the
charging was significantly shortened, possible are 3.5 hours compared to 6 at home and 45 minutes in the fastest version (80 per cent , additional charge).
Interesting but obviously still capable of development is the radar sensor, in front in the middle only in the E-versions of the Smart. For example, It replaces the paddle to change the recuperation by focussing on the
preceding vehicle. By the way, including the special subventions this smart is priced as one of the cheapest e-cars. 02/17
