Smart to Drive Electric?
Unlike any other the smart car is still demanding our attention and proving that, despite being small they can keep up with the big dogs – in terms of what they offer us the consumer.
The Innovative Smart cars compact and distinguished appearance is still turning heads and triggering smiles amongst most drivers. you can even see its influence on other car manufacturers with the introduction of Toyotas IQ and the Fiat 500. Other manufacturers may be jumping on the toy car wagon but they are soon again going to be left behind. Smart are set to turn a head or two and reignite the stir that they created when they first appeared on our roads back in 1998, by introducing a new generation of the quirky roadster- soon to be available in electric! Introduced as the Smart Electric Drive.
Smarts ethos from the beginning of its life has been to get the best out of motoring while making minimal impact on the environment. (And of course, having fun while doing it.) So I expect that it comes as no surprise to most of you that the Smart journey would end up going down the electric route!
Smarts brand mission from the beginning has been to get the best out of motoring while making minimal impact on the environment. (And of course, having fun while doing it.) It was only a matter of time until their dream became a reality.
Like your favourite everyday appliances, phones, laptops, the Smart Electric Drive will need a hearty charge of 8 hours, so probably over night ideally, it will then drive for up to 84 miles before it needs hooking up to the mains again. So where’s the plug? Tucked away under the old petrol cap!
So Smart have kept to there word by minimizing impact on the environment, how do they achieve on the cars fun aspect? Well with fun, health and safety (unfortunately) has to be addressed, with a full complement of Mercedes-Benz safety we can rest assure that any fun will be safe! The smart Electric is as quick as tame lightening, achieving 0-30 in an impressive 5.8 seconds however the motor is limited to a top speed of 62 mph at least health and safety will be happy, so I suspect no outside lane driving. Its appearance how ever is standard Smart- charming, amusing, and entertaining. It drives stably but has also been described as exhilarating!
