Save environment and money with Smart Electric Drive
Smart’s second-generation, Fortwo Electric Drive, has high potential of transforming the city’s motoring – with the help of subsidies and easier recharging. The Fortwo Electric Drive is another one-of-its-kind, which consumes electricity instead of the conventional petrol.

Guardian has reported that electric cars tend to cost at least £10,000 more than similar-sized petrol or diesels on average. For instance, the Nissan Leaf goes on sale next February at £28,350 (around £10,000 more than an equivalent petrol or diesel), while the Mitsubishi iMiEV is priced at £38,699 (four times the cost of the petrol version).

The bottom line is purchasers will save almost £800 per year, assuming 10,000 miles a year in fuel costs. The electric smart will also cut down carbon dioxide emissions by 2.6 tonnes per year over 10,000 miles when compared with the industry average.
