Making the 2018 Smart Fortwo an “EV” was too soon. They should’ve waited another 5 or so years until they could give it more range.

I owned an electric 2018 Smart. What a horrible experience that was. Fully charged, I got about 60-70 miles of range. If you decided to turn on the heat/air conditioner, it drops to around 40-50 miles of range. During the winter when it’s around 20 degrees outside, it’s so much worse that I got buyer’s remorse. One time, I fully charged my Smart to 100% in the winter. It was super cold outside, and I had to put the heat on. The fully charged 100% battery dropped to around a 20-mile range immediately while still saying 100% on the charging dash. They released the electric Smart way too soon. I will say though it’s the best driving experience in all Smart Fortwo models. It drives way better than any Smart Fortwo gas model out there. The range is garbage though, so pick your poison. Since Smart Fortwo is coming back called the #2 (not releasing in America). It has better range, but not enough for my taste. Maybe if it had 300 miles of range per charge, I’d get it.

Edit: Yes the battery was 100% healthy when I got it. On top of that the miles on that EV was only around 6k. The other worst thing about this car was needing to charge it every.single.day. That was the last straw before I went back to the 453 gas model.
