Summary

The Smart #2 35.8 kWh (MY27) is a 2-seat hatchback with rear-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £20,000. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 11.6 seconds, slower than 92% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 137 miles (220 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That puts it among the shortest-range 10% of the 485 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 63rd of 70 hatchbacks.

It uses around 3.9 mi/kWh (159 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.4 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 35 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 50 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 139 miles (223 km) at motorway speeds.

No heat pump is listed for this version, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses LFP chemistry, which manufacturers generally allow to be charged to 100% routinely.

Its UK starting price works out at £146 per mile of real-world range, close to the median for hatchbacks (£143 per mile).
