Common Questions About the smart fortwo electric drive coupe

How far can the 2018 smart fortwo electric drive coupe go on a single charge?

The 2018 smart fortwo electric drive coupe has an EPA-estimated range of 58 miles. In practice, knock 10-20% off that for real life — highway speeds, cold weather, and running the heater or AC all take a bite. Most owners report getting about 80-90% of the EPA number in mixed driving. Not a dealbreaker, just worth knowing.

How long does it take to charge the 2018 smart fortwo electric drive coupe at home?

On a Level 2 home charger (240V), the 2018 smart fortwo electric drive coupe takes about 3 hours from empty to full. But nobody actually charges from empty — plug in at 30% and you're looking at maybe 2 hours. Overnight while you sleep, basically. A Level 1 outlet (regular 120V) is much slower — fine for topping off but not realistic as your only option unless your commute is very short.
