Did you know that there are two options available for charging your Smart #1 electric vehicle? You can opt for a conventional wall socket or use a charging station, but when you're on the go, public charging using a charging station is essential. A wall socket won't provide sufficient charging. The charging rate for your EV will depend on the type of charging station or EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) used, as well as the maximum charging capacity of your Smart #1. The table below lists all the available charging options for your Smart #1, along with the estimated time required to fully charge your EV battery from empty.
Europe
Charging an electric vehicle (EV) in Europe can vary depending on the country. Some European countries rely on 1-phase connections to the electric grid, while others primarily use a 3-phase connection. The table below displays all the possible ways to charge a Smart #1. However, certain charging modes may not be accessible in specific countries. We recommend verifying with your local electric vehicle charging networks to confirm the available options.

Fast Charging (10 → 80%)
Quick charging is crucial to extend the distance of your trip by adding the highest range possible in the shortest amount of time. Nonetheless, the charging speed decreases considerably once the battery reaches 80% state-of-charge. As a result, fast charging typically stops at 80% SoC. The speed of rapid charging for an electric vehicle depends on the charging station and the maximum charging power that the EV can handle. For a comprehensive guide on fast charging your Smart #1, please consult the table below.
Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%
