The Smart Fortwo and Forfour are now available in an electric version

 

Launched on the world market in autumn 2012, the former Electric Drive (ED)  Smart Fortwo stopped being produced in the first half 2016 (700 units have been sold this year worldwide).

The new generation of the ED Smart Fortwo and ED Smart Forfour were presented at the Paris Motor Show 2016.

The ED Smart Fortwo combines the body of the Smart Fortwo, launched in 2014 and the engine of the Renault Zoe.
The ED Smart
Forfour also uses the body of the Smart Forfour launched in 2014 and the engine of the Renault Zoe.
The electric versions of Fortwo and Forfour therefore benefits from the cooperation agreement concluded in 2010 between Renault-Nissan and Daimler.

The two main target markets are the United States (launch planned at the end of 2016) and Europe (launch in early 2017). Smart expects a proportion of 25% of electric car sales for the Fortwo and Forfour (i.e. 40,000 sales per year for all two models).

The Smart ED Fortwo is produced in Hambach in France and the Smart ED Forfour in Novo Mesto in Slovenia, while the electric motor (R240) common to both models is made on the Renault Cleon site. Renault Twingo, twin sister of the Smart Forfour, could benefit from this engine around 2018-2019.

The battery is produced by a subsidiary of Daimler, Deutsche Accumotive.
It would enable an autonomy of 150km (against 120km for the previous generation).
