smart is presenting a particularly stylish variant of the two-seater in Paris in the guise of the “edition pureblack” special model. This limited-edition special model will be available both with the two petrol engines (fuel consumption, combined: 5.0-4.8 l/100 km; CO2 emissions, combined: 114-110 g/km) [4]and as an electric smart EQ fortwo (power consumption, combined: 18.3 -13.2 kWh/100 km; CO2 emissions, combined: 0 g/km)4. The vehicles painted in matt black are set apart by accent trim parts in high-gloss black and highlights in red. The “edition pureblack” will be available for ordering in the coming months, with deliveries set to begin next year.

smart is currently the only car manufacturer worldwide to offer its model range in both combustion-engine and all-electric variants. And smart is the first car brand with its sights set on a systematic changeover from combustion engine to electric drive: since 2017, smart has been selling only electric vehicles in the USA, Canada and Norway. From 2020, it will be marketing only battery-electric cars in Europe, too. The rest of the World is due to follow soon after.

All smart vehicles with electric drive come with a 4.6 kW on-board charger as standard. This provides for fast recharging of a drained battery – in less than 3.5 hours at a wallbox, in under six hours at a domestic wall socket (10-80 percent in each case). The “smart EQ control” app enables convenient remote monitoring of the charging process and remote control of functions such as intelligent charging.

A particularly powerful 22 kW fast charger is optionally available in Europe. This enables the smart fortwo EQ to be charged much more quickly: in less than 40 minutes (10-80 percent) when local conditions permit three-phase charging. Furthermore, smart offers a wallbox as a special item of equipment.
