Electric car smart ed Videos

@Herik77 I don't think you understood my comment. My point was to show how pathetic the Smart's performance is on the road. Car companies usually post 0-60 mph, or 0-100 kmph. Looks like someone at Smart is embarrassed to post their 0-100 mph time, which would be like 20-25 seconds or something. LOL

I bet this is a bit late to tell you now, but the 2011 Smart EV was nothing more than a science experiment. They brought out a new one, being manufactured and sold for $23-25,000 before various federal and state reductions.

Who in the hell thought that a 30KW motor was a good idea? And what were they smoking/drinking/shooting/snorting? The gas Fortwo has a 55KW engine so why in the f*** did they not give it a motor in the area of 50KW

45 K ?????!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!! You can get a volt or a nissan leaf much cheaper than that. and those cars have higher miles per charge plus it can go more than 60 MPH

This was aired in 2011, the current Smart Fortwo Electric now has 55 kw (75 hp) and will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 11 seconds. 

1:43 - 1:57 It sounds kind of like a landspeeder that Luke Skywalker drove before leaving Tatooine. Or a really crappy siren.

@moneymakerpnx It's a college kid's/couple's car...If you have a family it better be a commuter...simply put....

Only Smart with their golf cart would post a 0-60 kmph acceleration time instead of a 0-60 mph one. SMH.

@ricepaddy69 Anglo-Saxon only still use the miles .... the rest of the world uses kilometers..

Looks like you were in Chicago!!!! And I saw the Michigan license were you in SW Michigan??!?!

46,000 for that peice of shit wow I gotta b kidding. Most expensive gulf cart i evah seen.

Meh, I'd rather get the Volt-- even then, I'm not too enthusiastic about that one either.

I really like this presenter's attitude. Common sense with a touch of snark.

ARE THEY FUCKING KIDDING? 45,600. WHERE IS THE SAVINGS...NONE!

It's in pre-production testing. That's why it's so expensive.

@tfbekkProductions I'm guessting 60mph as he said "all out"

If memory serves, electric vehicles have been around 50 years longer than petrol powered vehicles. The only reason petrol powered vehicles really took off is because of the electric starter motor. So in essence, petrol powered vehicles owe their existance to electric vehicles. Without the electric vehicle, we wouldn't have petrol powered ones (more or less).

Yes the electricity they use is often from fossil fuels,,,BUT,,,how much power and fossil fuels are burnt?,,,,30Kw motor in this light weight car verses say a 90kw(guess) in a corolla is much better. Simply the fact the whole car is lite and efficient means great savings.

There's just something about the sound of that electric motor!! Man it sounds lovely!! 10 times better than any stinkin V8! I wish Australia would get out of the stone age and import electric cars. I'm getting an electric motorbike this weekend.

@pcarlson1979 Electric cars unfortunately don't solve the problem. It takes something, usually a fossil fuel, to create the energy. Plus I'm not sure I would trust how long the batteries will last being constantly recharged daily.

I'm always thinking like if one night you come home and forget to charge your car then what are you going to do you can't just go and get gas and fill up your car you have to ride the bus your something else so yea your screwed

At the time, July 2010, you could only lease the car and it was $599/month. On their website, Smart Car shows an MSRP $25,000 for the Electric Drive Smart. I guess that means you can buy or lease it.

the 2013 smart ed is faster, has the facelift which looks way better, gets longer range, and everything about it is a big improvement over this 2010 version, have one on order right now cant wait

You've obviously haven't heard an Audi R8 V8.......I also bought a bike too...but got a Ducati :) This car is good for what its designed for though.

Yea 600 bucks a month and $250 insurance a month (how much I pay) is not smart..Im sure you can finance a Benz or Hummer for less than that.

HAHA, the troll gets sad when his mommy is referenced. Shes probably a tramp and you the bastard son of some alcoholic. Vote green!

$599 a month for a lease? Wow! that sucks! Looks like it is still going to be better to convert a gas car to electric yourself.

worst review ive ever seen. you gotta learn to edit your shit you repeated yourself soooo many times

where do you get 220 in town , wow think of it 12 hours on your 220 who wont's to pay that bill :)

even a child would not wont that as a toy , it takes 14 hours by standard electric ,

This isnt new technology. Electric cars were among the first ever made. FYI.

power wheels for adults , that's what my buddy said and i thank its funny

Nice video I don't understand German but I like the images is this the gen 2 or 3 smart ED it doesn't have the LED daytime running lights so I assume that it is a gen 2 with the Tesla battery pack.

"Mit eingebauter Vorbildfunktion". Eine Anspielung auf seine Geschwistern aus der Mercedes Reihe über die spöttisch auch "mit eingebauter Vorfahrt" im Volksmund gesprochen wird :)

This is a Smart Generation 3 with battery pack from Li-Tec (Kamenz/Saxony). We do not know why it has no LED daytime running lights.

Thanks for the response I really like the version of the smart and really looking in buying one

LED daytime running lights are option for 300,-€, they are not serial.

Finde ich gut. Hätte ich die Knete, würde ich nich lange fackeln.

19000 ohne batterie ist unverschämt!

//www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/vehicle/v/smart/fortwo/2015See for yourself. The car actually is safer for side impacts compared to most cars on the market (side impact tests are done across vehicles of all sizes), and most categories are at the top of IIHS ratings with a few Acceptable categories here and there. The electric smart has extremely little rollover risk due to a very low center of gravity (thanks battery packs!), but if you do rollover, the smart's roof/safety cage can sustain more pressure than most any vehicle on the road.
