What is the range of an electric smart car?

I just saw Smart’s promo video for their new electric compact SUV, and I have to have it! I know it won’t be out for a while, but once I get it, I want to zip around the country to visit all my sorority sisters. But I _am_ wondering if this smart car has a good range. Can you tell me the range of this electric Smart car?

That sounds like an awesome idea for a
road trip
! The friendships you develop in college last a lifetime. And what a fun vehicle with excellent fuel economy. I’m a big fan of the super cool “floating halo” glass roof. Here’s what we know about the range of electric Smart cars:
  • Smart’s Concept #1 electric SUV appears to be a healthy performer and comes with a 66kWh battery powertrain that will recharge quickly. It’s powered by a single electric motor that cranks out 268 hp with 253 lb-ft of torque.
  • The maximum range for this electric Smart car is between 260 and 273 miles per charge.
  • If you use a direct current charger with 150kw,_ you can charge up to 80 percent in only half an hour. _An alternating current charge with 22kW can do the same in a little under three hours.
Now that you know you’ll be able to rest easy at the end of a long day knowing you can simply plug in your Smart electric SUV, make sure overpriced

doesn’t keep you up at night.
