Frequently Asked Questions

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Smart EQ forfour (2020-2022) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 61 kW (82 hp) of power and 118 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 12.2 seconds (ranked №644 out of 693 electric vehicles) and a top speed of 81 mph.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

Smart EQ forfour (2020-2022) achieves a real-world range of 63–77 miles, placing it at №684 among 693 electric vehicles. However, this range is subject to several influences:

  • Speed: Traveling at higher speeds reduces battery life.
  • Temperature: Extreme cold or hot weather can affect range.
  • Terrain: Hilly or mountainous landscapes decrease range.
  • Driving habits: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
  • Feature usage: Climate control and media systems also influence range.

It's important to acknowledge that these are estimations, and your actual driving range may differ. Consider these factors when planning your trip and be ready for potential charging stops.

Utilize the interactive EV Navigation map for trip planning assistance.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?
  • For quicker charging, consider using a compatible DC fast-charging station. The car boasts a maximum charging rate of 22 kW, but remember that battery temperature and charge level can influence the actual speed you'll experience.

    • Estimate charging time, rate and cost using Green Cars Compare Charging Calculator.
