Though battery care and topping fluids remain standard maintenance practices to deter more significant performance issues, what issues did fuel contamination cause ICEs that would be nonexistent in EVs? This leads to inefficient use of fuel, whereas in EVs, smart systems can notify fleet drivers of changes in electrical efficiency.

Smart’s Fortwo electric drive can be charged at any 220V normal household socket and a fully charged battery is sufficient for 71miles of driving. With studies showing that cars drive an average of between 30 and 40km a day in towns and cities, the vehicle will only need a three hour charge. It can accelerate from 0-60km/h in 6.5

One study found that, by far, battery electric vehicles have the lowest lifecycle GHG emissions compared to all other technologies. While there is ongoing research into e-fuels — sustainable zero-emission alternatives to fossil fuels — they won’t be price competitive with fossil fuels before 2050 at the earliest, the study says. .
