Across the ocean in London, England, Smart is testing its new Smart Ed, an all-electric version of the tiny Smart ForTwo.The new Smart ED is a small, fuel efficient vehicle, that has had the engine and gas tank yanked out, and pop in an electric motor and a heap of batteries.
The ED is electronically limited to 100kph (60mph) and can travel up to 115km (72miles) between 8 hour charges. Smart says that with a midday top-up charge at any three-pin electric socket the range can be extended to 160Km (100 miles) for an equivalent of 127Kpl (300 mpg).
