The electric Smart car has arrived. Mindy Kimball of Silver Spring, Maryland, received the first electric Smart ForTwo in the United States on Wednesday, one of 250 tiny electric vehicles will see the organization this year. Significant display begins in 2012. “Today is a revolutionary smart in the United States,” said Smart USA President Jill Lajdziak in a statement. “We are quite excited to add the smart fortwo electric-powered line of smart items, strengthening our position as a key player in the electrification of transport.” Kimball, 36, is a significant in the Army and one of the initial that has always sung the praises of electric vehicles. Smart ForTwo electric drive developed with the support of Tesla Motors, has a 30 kilowatt (40 horsepower) electric motor and a battery of 16.5 kWh lithium-ion. While it is slow and very best suited to urban travel, we discover it so funny and peculiar as his brother flue gas. The battery is great for a claimed 98 miles in the LA4 test cycle, but the EPA sets the real-world figure at 63 miles. It is excellent to go in eight hours when connected to a 220 volt outlet. That is a lengthy time, but the package is 80 percent “complete” in 3.5 hours. Smart lease a fleet of 250 cars to private and municipal / corporate fleets to refine the technologies. Mass production is scheduled for 2012. No word on pricing yet. Следующие материалы:
