These fuel costs compare favourably with 12-15 p/mile for conventional petrol and diesel cars. In general, home charging provides the cheapest per mile cost and public rapid charging tends to be around double the cost. Cost per mile is calculated using an estimate of real-world range.īased on these figures, the Smart EQ fortwo’s fuel costs are 3-4 p/mile based on real-world energy usage, the cost depending on the type of charging. Cost estimates are dependent on the charge remaining, usable battery capacity, and age of battery pack. The table shown below shows estimates of the cost to charge the Smart EQ fortwo’s 17.6 kWh battery at home, on a domestic tariff. How much does it cost to charge a Smart EQ fortwo? The level of battery charge, connector speed, and on-board charger options can be tailored to your requirements for more accurate results. Use Zap-Map’s Home Charging Calculator to estimate charging times for a Smart EQ fortwo. This means that even when connected to a fast charger with a rated output above 7 kW or 22 kW – depending on model – the Smart EQ fortwo will only be able to charge at the on-board charger’s maximum level. The Smart EQ fortwo is fitted with a 7 kW on-board charger as standard for AC charging, though is available with a 22 kW on-board charger as an option. Other factors that might vary the charging time include ambient temperature, in-vehicle energy loads, any upper and lower charge restrictions to extend battery life and protect against potential damage, and charging rates slowing down as the maximum charge is reached. Note that the times shown are only a guide, as very rarely will an EV need to be fully charged from 0%. The following table shows approximate times to charge a Smart EQ fortwo. How long does it take to charge a Smart EQ fortwo? Once activated, the units will conduct further connection and account checks before starting to charge the vehicle. Contactless pay-as-you-go units are also becoming more common on newer units. Depending on the network provider, this may require the use of an RFID card or smartphone app, often linked to an account which has been set up beforehand. On a public charger, an activation process is required to initiate charging. If charging at private home or workplace charge point, the vehicle then automatically starts charging.
2019 SMART EQ FORTWO DRIVER
Type 2 – Slow & FastĬharging requires the EV driver to plug the connectors into the correct inlet, after which the car then ‘talks’ to the charging unit to make sure there is a power supply, that there are no faults, and that it is safe to start charging. In most cases, slow charging requires a 3-pin-to-Type 2 cable, and fast charging a Type 2-to-Type 2 cable, both of which are usually supplied with the vehicle. Smart’s EQ fortwo is able to be slow and fast charged from public points, depending on network and type of charge unit. There is no rapid charging capability on the electric Smart range. The Smart EQ fortwo’s Type 2 inlet is found on the off-side rear 3/4 panel where you would expect to find a petrol flap. The Type 2 inlet is used when charging at home or at public slow and fast AC points. The Smart EQ fortwo uses the Type 2 charging standard for AC.
