The first examples of Smart's second-generation Fortwo Electric Drive will roll off the manufacturing line on the organization's Hambach plant in France in mid November, the employer introduced nowadays. Initially, the all-electric powered Smart this is powered by way of a lithium-ion battery sourced from Tesla Motors (Daimler lately sold a 10 percent stake inside the organisation) might be leased to clients in Berlin and other towns in Europe and the USA but from 2012 it will input collection production and be available via the Smart supplier community to anyone interested

The plug-in Smart receives a magneto-electric powered motor, which gives you 30kW or forty one-horsepower and a hundred and twenty Nm or 89 lb-toes of torque, and is hooked up at the rear of the vehicle.
