The batteries give the car a range of around 200 kilometers, and the electric motor has 70 kilowatts of power. The motor comes from the battery-powered B-class, while the battery technology was adopted from the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive. At the same time, the main focus with this car is on practical, everyday qualities. The first 500 cars made have been leased to selected customers in France, Germany and The Netherlands.
