The Tiny Smart EV Is Back With An Answer To Its Biggest Weakness

  • The Smart #2 targets 180 miles of WLTP range, roughly doubling its electric predecessor’s reach.
  • A claimed 20-minute 10–80% charge should make trips beyond the city less daunting.
  • The Fortwo successor keeps its tiny footprint and two-seat layout, with rear-wheel drive and a tight turning circle.

The electric Smart Fortwo was always excellent at getting through the city. Going much farther than your usual urban rounds required a lot more planning because of its limited electric range. Its replacement, the Smart #2, aims to keep the first part while making the second far less of a concern.
