EV Channels Review
The Smart #1 represents a significant departure from the brand's previous small city cars, evolving into a purpose-built electric SUV developed in partnership with Geely. This new model aims to capture a modern market with its single 62kWh battery option, offering a WLTP range of 260-273 miles. Charging capabilities include 150kW DC fast charging and 22kW AC charging (except on the entry-level Pro+). The reviewer notes that while the Pro+ misses out on the standard heat pump found in higher trims, the vehicle is expected to achieve around 250 miles in warm weather and 220 miles in winter. The review suggests the #1 is a strong contender, potentially a 'surprise of the year', and warrants consideration for those looking for a new electric vehicle.
