This video was brought to you by a Battery planner cam power Marcus Beale Steinberg and Bill componente Yo what's up we are now sitting in a Smart hashtag one pulls variant this is The all-wheel drive with 428 horsepower 584 Newton meter pork and they can do a CO2 104.5 seconds so this is not the the Beefy blob is worsen but even the Bravos Has the same number of horsepower and Torque just a different torque curve so Yes we're going to do a little driving Impression now this is the first time I Drive it Okay let me see it has the Mercedes Stock like this and an off figure so It's quite quick oh [ __ ] okay let me see Okay Uh Zoop oh [ __ ] freaking type but yeah Overdrive huh plenty of horsepower wait Maybe I should go in some kind of sport Mode but I want to now go over to um So this is an event a test drive event Norway for some reason is a bit slow With a smart uh other countries there Over there and out you know with press Runs and all them but no Norway okay so We are slow there and that's unfortunate You see if I go to Quick control here Um let me find do we have any driving oh No there was a I'm trying to find the Drive motor sorry at this instead this Is a bit new I just got in the car and Not not much time to prepare so this is

Usually how it is but okay I will notice One thing is that they have shaved off The the asphalt here and it's a bit Bumpy and they're planning on putting All the new asphalt but The suspension just goes very nice and Smooth over everything Wow very nice Yeah very nice indeed and I can I can Feel the the the power I haven't even Tried to hammer it yet so here there's An engine boom boom wow okay let me just Get through oh coming through coming Through Okay one thing the first thing I noticed By the way with this this car is that Um the throttle Response is not as smooth as I would Like it to be let me explain When if I just push the accelerator a Little bit it just okay it goes maybe it Should do that right but I feel like it Is a little bit harder with this car to Make a smooth ride simply because I would wish the the throttle to be a Bit smoother I need to push it maybe the The more I push it the more power but Here it feels like the power comes A little bit too early to my taste but Okay maybe that's nitpicking but because I tested so many other cars and for Example in a Tesla or Mercedes or a BMV Or pole star Um it's easy for me to get a smooth ride

Just okay I mean your muscle memory will Eventually get used to this but okay Another thing I also notice is that Region comes actually somewhat hard once I let off Yeah then it comes you see me get the Feel here Well actually it doesn't come out right Away so that's a bit there's a slight Delay but sometimes let me get a feeling Okay I go downhill typical driving Scenario and then I let off the pedal Okay oh there's a bit delay yeah okay Hmm Uh maybe a little bit too much delay for My taste because I want to be able to Control the the torque whether it's Positive or negative torque uh more Instant than this or at least maybe not Too instant that two instance is also Not good for example the BMW ix3 when You put it on the highest region setting It actually it becomes quite hard I mean Strong and also when you are done Uh when you are driving especially when You are in cruise control and disengage Cruise control you will you'll feel like It goes immediately I would like to have Maybe half a second before it gradually Comes in but not too too slow either and This is a bit nitpicking so let me show You so actually when I'm driving now Um depending on speed bumps or whatever Right I will sometimes accelerate

Slightly or sometimes let off to region And I feel like the region is it has way Too low a too slow Uh delay yeah yeah let me see okay if I Drive now and then I let off Oh that is almost annoyingly slow I hope They can fix this with software updates Yeah I want it to be not too fast but Also not too slow uh if I would guess Now let me see Yeah okay maybe it's about half second Before it but it comes gradually after Roughly half a second maybe it would be Better to have roughly 300 or 250 Milliseconds and then fade it in Slightly more than that but okay Um yeah it actually Uh you know before you guys criticize me That now I'll be on your Tesla Fanboy And because it doesn't work like Tesla Then it's not good no but I have tested So many cars out there Audi gold star recently now now right Now I'm testing also Um a Jeep Avenger and all the other cars They have different Behavior they have Similar Behavior this one seems to to go A little bit out of the ornament that's It but okay okay let's not focus too Much on that one uh when it comes to Comfort oh I like the compartment we Have quite bumpy road over here you guys Can probably see it but it goes nice and Smooth over the bumps I need to test

Once we get out there with less traffic To see how how both this car is usually There's a trade-off between comfort and Boldness okay I just invented the new Word boldness Okay now we just come to very smooth Asphalt but let me see okay Um yeah some traffic here of course Let me go to home Okay and then well I'm gonna go to the Car where I'm saying okay so yeah now we Have some curves okay Oh this thing is quick oh And then oh it feels a bit both yeah and Then it regions of course it regions in All four wheels I can feel it And then I have to do the the Um the mousse maneuver yeah okay let me Try here Okay And then try to do the moves by the way Back Oh yeah oh I can feel it's like a boat Oh this is the trade-off if you want Comfort You have to trade it for bothness Yeah yeah okay okay no so it's not a Sports car that's yeah It actually works a lot Um But um in return you get the you get the The Comfort done but then if it's not That sporty but it still has a lot of Power how does it behave when you just

Hammer it then sorry there's some stuff Oh man I hate when stuff makes noise Here let me move that one maybe that one Okay I mean there's an electric car it should Have low center of gravity true true but Um Imagine I think it's just that the Suspension has been set somewhat soft This is of course up to the car Manufacturer yeah But right now we are also on on uh quite Smooth asphalt so I can't give you guys An impression of the noise levels but Okay one thing I can do right now is That let me check here uh I'm not sure If I USB has been injected okay um okay Let me check here Oh there's a yeah they have this fox Thing there Um Okay I tested I tested this it's better Than that I tested this beforehand we Have music here we're gonna test now the Music test for we have folders that's Good Okay sound test [Music] Wait That's Oh That was that was maximum volume by the Way the sound is not good it's I set Everything to Flat by the way

Yeah yeah okay but I I set the equalizer To Flat I turn off all the processing if There's any The car the sound lacks details it lacks Stereo perspective it locks the the Sound Stage there's some bass here That's good It lacks even lacks even details in the High in the high frequency here lacks Lots of treble [Music] Okay next song Wait next no okay Wait wait Fire gonna be the play okay Some some cars will have trouble playing A kickoff by evening traveler you know The Arctic Circle song this car also Fails it's a wave file so I'm still Strongly wondering why it doesn't work Well okay anyway S [Music] Yeah I'm just showing here that we Actually have uh equalizer on flat And there's a lot of details in the high Frequencies missing Wow Um [Music] Right Let me listen for rattling in the doors [Music] Yep There was some rattling coming from the

Rear door Just the last one third dimension Waiting still waiting Okay it locks deep pace [Music] Just some sounds like everything beneath 100 horse is non-existent here and Everything above 10 kilohertz is also Non-existing When I turn up the volume the sound the Sound frequent I mean the the frequency Response changes as if the bass or some Other tones have reaches limits Skip a little bit Sounds like there's a little bit of Clipping also when we go Maps but okay So enough for the sound test so uh sound Level of sound system here uh doesn't Seem to be that great I think we have to Maybe go for the Bravos version Brabus Has supposedly was it 17 speakers or Something and better sound system but This one which might be the one that Most Norwegians will buy uh Lower than average sound system compared To uh actually many other cars in the Same price range So that's a little bit bummer um I think Actually price wise this one might be Competing against a model y Rebel Drive I'm not sure why Um Okay whatever I'm not going to speculate Too much on the price but okay let's

Keep focusing on driving so yeah it Keeps bugging me that every time I Region it comes Oh yeah Yeah okay okay But oh I feel it not over here we hide We have a little bit um uh semi-rough Asphalt and maybe not the smoothest but It is nice and quiet yeah so that's uh That's good with the consumption right Now instance to switch here Oh yeah that is another person oh so That's that's interesting the this one Here up and down is for volume yeah but Then left and right is not for next and Previous song uh left and right here on The joy pad or whatever you call it is Um To go next trip trip one trip two over To this trip trip or IPC yeah we'll take Is IPC uh it seems to me like it's uh It's an instant power consumption yeah And that's it yeah and then total Odometer 112 kilometers only this car is Branch Banking new the consumption right Now is 193 watt hour per kilometer since I started from U level a little bit Further down before where I started this Recording even but okay so um let me see How is this again I'm not too familiar Around here but um I think I'm supposed To take this exit And then drive yeah there's some dirt Roads around here

So yeah um a little bit out of the Ordinary since my starting point was Level then we just take this one this Route Yeah money money journalists actually Tends to take this this route around Modi adults one here for uh For the the test drive and it's not that Busy but also you can't Hammer too hard So But yeah Um so compared to other cars in similar Price range then how is this one how is The Smart hashtag one Well it it feels okay well we have to Established that the comfort is here Yeah it's a good comfort Sounds like also good soundproofing Also plenty of power region seems to be Great when we region down the hills now It's not doing anything crazy that makes Me uncomfortable Um let me try to go a little bit faster To get a feel how it is okay here you See I'm on the region down here But it seems to regen evenly it doesn't Try to lock some wheels or [ __ ] like That so that's good uh like I said Earlier the only minus is that it tends To have a little bit weird region Response maybe or the way it yeah And then when I floor it oh it has a Little bit delay on there where's I think it was here yeah so yeah it when

You floor it You see and then the power comes so yeah I mean but I'm in Comfort mode let me See how the heck did I change modeling And maybe there's a button here uh no no I have to find I have to quickly find The the mode button here um it's Supposed to be somewhere right dry um Um I'm trying to find quickly how uh how To change mode okay Um Vehicle setting we also should huh Please pay attention drug cover like ah The camera is watching me yeah so um I'm Trying to quickly find out where the Heck the the Mold is well I can't find it Um What is it really that hard to find the Mode button Well of course I should have prepared Beforehand before I did the drive but Also this is also a little bit Hands-On Test now that if I found that driving Mode is here okay driving mode okay Sport what the heck man [Music] Comfort What the heck that was that must be some Chinese thing man those freaking sound Effects okay now we're in sport mode Let's try again see how it is Uh the throttle response becomes yeah The chocolate becomes oh oh now we get

The instant torque oh yeah oh man it Means that for me my taste I kind of Need to drive in sport more than because I like instant torque I don't like that Artificial delay there's some uh uh Skiers here roller skiers let me see now Um let me get a feel of how the region Is yeah the region still has that Annoying long lag But of course when you're floor it now Even on even surface it goes quite quick So I like it yeah it doesn't it doesn't Lose contact with the surface that Easily So um Yeah yeah okay Other than that uh what is that I Usually okay let me see how is the side Support well um oh okay the seats feels Nice and wide which is good for big People but I I feel like I I have a Little bit not so great side support Versus maybe other cars for example the The the the seats in the BMV I4 for Example right but again this is not if This was not meant to be a sports car Yeah but for day-to-day driving yeah Great Okay and then just cruise around here Wait let me try let me try driving more Eco eco mode and how is eco mode if I Talk to floor it then Oh okay yeah there huh what really they Just the throttle responses are slightly

Uh sluggish sluggish here And then in Comfort mode Becomes slightly more responsive and Then I I feel like the biggest Difference is actually between all the Other modes and sport mode sport mode Seems to have a more more the most uh Significant uh tuning of whatever you Should call it but I'll just leave it in Sport mode for now So um Steering wheel is nice and thick but not Too thick not the thick as I felt uh Also good grip on that one and also I I Like the fact that we have physical Buttons here and here you can press no No no touch crap like that that you've Done some Germans tends to have like Like a full Smog and an even Mercedes Manhole legitimate yeah so at least That's good Um Okay when it comes to region okay as I Complain about that the region is slow To react yeah but at least it it feels Strong so you see I I can actually drive Around here in this hilly roads and I Can I don't have to touch a thing I mean I don't have to touch the brake I I can Just have it on the one on the one pedal Here so that's that's very convenient Rather than having to move my feet all The time like this right but some people Like that okay if you like to live in

The past you can do that but for me I Like having one pedal driving and then It's very con it's very intuitive that You just use one pedal to accelerate or Decelerate Wow there was some horseshit over there [ __ ] I'd be careful but this is actually A very nice route to drive around and You see that now that I'm trying to Relax and just Cruise then my elbow Naturally rests on this this center Console Yeah I like it but you you have a a Place you rest and then it also it Actually feels right that it's there Some cars the the armrest is on the Weird position and you feel like you you You have to rest it like this or this or Some word [ __ ] and there's also a little Bit of padding here yeah I'm feeling There's some padding here that's good it It feels good to rest there wait wait Except for that Here's a bit hard okay Uh well actually actually I'm changing My mind here sometimes when I do this Though my elbow comes right on the Corner here where it's a little bit hard There Uh so okay maybe not the best because Recently I tried the bishop yeah no Sorry the C2 and ec4x and now also uh Uh I mentioned yeah and then the Jeep Avenger and they actually have a middle

Armrest thing that can be adjusted Forward so that one is brilliant Man Compared to this one here yeah So yeah and there's a lot of hard Plastic here Yeah it's just the styling of it A big screen I like the big screen Um also the the distance seems to be Good To the big screen here uh Graphics also And also oh yeah wait wait is this uh Is this glossy I'm not sure but it feels but actually Now yeah we have overcast Yeah so but it's easy to read it and Also the one in the instrument cluster But it's a small one the intimate Cluster but at least you have lots of Useful information in there like battery Percentage like trip meter speed so yeah Overall though Um very impressive this uh smart hashtag One okay let's go let's hammer it now Let's do this and then [Music] Okay it's um what was that in sport mode Yeah it's a sport mode hmm wait D mode Sport okay okay yeah I forgot uh B mode Is we have the region on the Strong by The way so yeah once we are here we can Just Cruise then um very nice and uh Comfortable again I need to test the noise I feel like This is a quiet car yeah maybe they got

Some soundproofing from Mercedes I'm not Sure but it's a genie so yeah But okay after driving a while I mean it Is still there it's still a region the Bug bugs me man okay maybe I can switch On Lower region then huh if that bothers You yeah okay region it's stuck too Strong let's start to the standard okay How is standard now Um well it still have that delay yeah That annoying delay But it's just not not as strong as Previously but I prefer having it in Strong So um yeah consumption well a Consumption I can't say too much about That because we are now on a little bit Weird route but it's 188 watt hour per Kilometer with some uphills and such so We need to test consumption eventually Some other place but okay let me see I'm Just I'm just gonna pull out here Before it's too late So and then you see Hey Oh I like that One you see here when you put on the Turn signal the 360 camera comes out or The board views camera but wow that is Laggy I don't know if you guys can see It it's like 10 FPS what the heck man Are they running a 286 CPU or something Wow yeah especially when you have some Speed and you can see the choppiness of The on okay going too fast okay not to Go slower what happened to that wait

Wait come on Okay but at least when you're doing this And when you are maneuvering oh yeah Okay then you see the whole oh okay okay Well even that one seems a bit uh choppy Laggy not that smooth I would prefer at Least 25 or 30 FPS rather than what Seems to be like 10 FPS wow Okay But all right Um Maybe I should just stop here uh over Here roughly Zip Yeah So um I think that's it this one I have The by the way the the glass roof opened Her during the test drive because we Don't have more light in here but other Than that yeah and what should I say About the car it um it feels nice in any Ways uh there's not much that annoys me You know the seats are generally good All the stuff here is good okay maybe This one could be better uh the region Hopefully can be fixed uh but um yeah But then how good it against other cars Well eventually I need to find out so Um uh we'll see yeah okay okay whatever I mean since we're already here I need To drive back anyway I might as well Just keep the camera running for a Little bit yeah why not okay Together

Oh Oh nice 400 wait but Interesting I mean it has over 400 Horsepower But somehow I almost don't feel like I have 400 Horsepower okay we have 400 but maybe It's because the the the shape of the Car you know that it's a bit the boat so I feel like I feel like I would like to have 428 Horsepower in in a sedan you know a Smaller one uh not support car but um Yeah but okay maybe I'm just nitpicking You know I'm trying to be as honest as Possible Uh of course if I find something good I Will highlight them but also if I find Something at least I don't like then I Should also mention it Wait no there's no Kindle it's just not Just adults okay Oh wait oh wait wait we have 81 battery Maybe the battery is a little bit Cold-ish and that could be why we don't Get the maximum power You can see me just get pushed towards The seat Okay let me just slow down a little bit More here and try okay check I check for Traffic in the back okay Oh Okay okay okay okay I take it back away It is quite brutal man I mean not brutal

But I mean but it is still quite quick For such a small car so yeah But otherwise now let's go back and get Back to the bumpy parts of the road Again and then see how it goes there so In this video I should give you guys as Much I should talk as much as possible And try to avoid repeating myself of Course so I'm sorry I repeated myself a Lot when it comes to the region but That's because it kept bugging me all The time the region Behavior driving Behavior But other than that what is it that Usually you guys are looking for here How is the steering the steering feels Comfortable Um Yeah it feels quite direct so that's Good usually I'm not very good at Detecting how the steering is uh more Like sensing how suspension and noise Are but yeah at least now we are on Quite smooth asphalt so um it will be Like in Netherlands you know no I don't Know but it would be like in Belgium Where we have nice and smooth asphalt so It's relevant for for Dutch people and Uh and and uh And the the belgians yeah nice and Smooth So I'm trying to imagine if I would Drive on a long road trip how would I Feel like in here

Yeah it's um it's nice but um Yeah I wonder if the seats could have Been slightly softer but again I'm Judging too early just based on a very Short trip But I can feel it now by the way when I Mention it I can even see it here that The seats are a little bit flat so it Depends what your taste is but you might Not like these these flat-ish they feel Like you know American Tesla style fat Seat oh now we come to some rough Asphalt and you can suddenly hear that It's the sound totally changes But is it annoyingly Loud here no But I also I'm not sure if we will get These tires in the cars in Norway Because we have done Loop here uh that Is a bit unusual in normally in Norway We will have one of the big ones like Michelin it's Continental Um Yeah I don't remember all that but you Know the new one the most common ones For summer Times Winter times Nokian is Quite common and also uh Yeah Continental also Viking contact So tires plays a big role in active Driving feel and Noise And they're also breaking performance But that's something we're not going to Test today But at least now here we do also the

Urban driving see how it goes you know Uh actually easy overview some cars they Tend to have a bit oh that went for some Always some hard bumps here some cars Might be maybe sometimes hard to to see On some blind spots or maybe the a Pillar is a bit thick or something here I feel like I have good oil this is it Seems to be a very nice car for City Driving at least but also for long out Of the city life we went over there also Seems okay so But even if there's something that is Not good with with this car right uh I Will eventually find out maybe not on This short trip but yeah usually after Doing some 1000 kilometer Challenge from Range test or something I will usually Find what is not so good with this car So uh yeah and why do you guys watch This video in the first place well you Watch this video To see if there's anything negative About this car not only the good things Because the good The Good the positive Things you can probably watch that and You can probably see that in other Bigger YouTube channels right I'm just trolling but wow okay well yeah But yeah if nobody this car is perfect For a Belgium man because uh it is so Smooth over the shitty bums and the Shitty roads Perfect for Belgium

Oh [ __ ] uh wait did I go the right okay Let me try the speed bump in this way Like this Yeah yeah yeah Yeah wow Yeah basically oh okay okay yeah every Time I lift The lift they accelerate a little bit You can you can almost see me go a bit Forward and by the way oh yeah Um I think I might not have reached the Maximum region level possible yet Because the battery was too high so now We have down to 80 percent yeah yeah so When we started 100 roughly 85 battery And the battery might have been Semi-called also so um yeah um I should Get I should give you guys a better Driving impression usually by the end of The test period you know I usually Borrow the car for a whole week and then When they do the driving impression you Will get way better detail and and Summary and whatever you want to know About the apartment just for now if you Have reserved a smart hashtag one and You're wondering is it good Yeah it's um it's a good car I mean I Feel like it's um you have to know what It is you know you have to do it you Know the sports car Um But it's it's yeah it's it's comfortable It's actually quite spacious also it's

Quick if you go for the oven Drive I Haven't tried the The Raven Drive the River Drive has 200 and don't remember how much it was Oh he's gonna okay yeah The River Drive has a little bit less Power and less torque than for example Pole star 2 rear wheel drive that one Was Bloody quick man for for yeah but um Yeah uh in Norway the one I'm sitting in Right now pulls is oh [ __ ] okay can we Can we see there you know trick would be To turn on the turn signal because then Yeah then the 360 camera comes up Bump into the corners right or the yeah But in other countries maybe the Rebel Drive will be more popular since you Don't need overdrive right in those Countries so yeah I'm not sure which one I would be able to test though Um the Press car I might get this pulse Also or maybe the brambers either just Bravos eventually but yeah by the way I Can kind of guess how the Bravos would Be because if they these two yeah if These two they have the same horsepower And the same torque Um I suspect that maybe they use the Same Motors but they just tune it Differently and you're actually paying a Little bit extra for for some extra Bravo stuff like the better speakers and Some other goodies uh supposedly Matrix Lights but uh you might also be paying

The software price you know the the Software unlock price for for The Barbers performance and even in this Mode here in the sport mode when I floor It I feel like it doesn't have that neck Snapping instant torque like a BMV or a Tesla uh or a Porsche but with rubbers They just tune it so you get this and That's how they can then get the co200 In 3.9 seconds supposedly versus this One is 4.5 yeah okay so if you want the Best performance you have to go for Brabus but you also get more goodies With that one But um I mean I still feel like this is Quick and I would assume that if you're Driving if you're just cruising on the Motorway and you floor it yeah okay it Takes like how they put this This one I mean the the pools and the Bravos they still have the same kilowatt On the same torque numbers and it's like Here you you get this cheaper because You you have an artificial delay and in The Bravos you pay extra to get rid of The artificial delay but it means that Usually after half a second with both Both types you should have the full Power anyway yeah you just you know so Um In a way uh if you don't care about that Half second then just go for the the Pulls inside it's cheaper and it's still Quite quick yeah depends on what you're

Gonna do right so um Yeah we're almost back to uh at the Battles 10 now yeah I'm almost overdue Uh I was I was the last one to test Drive this car there were three people Sharing this car and we wanted to go Individually not the same car together So um yeah here we go over a couple of Speed bumps They just it just floats nicely over the Speed bumps I want to go a little bit Faster I want to see how the car behaves Uh I wanted to get a feel of how the Nose goes so I had to wait and slow down A little bit so that the truck Goes ahead and then wait do we have Another speed bump I hope so Um Yeah I still need to con I need to Comment on the on the region that I let Off and then and then the region comes Okay here let's go a little bit faster Oh oh okay yeah I feel like the nose is Not going up that much The the Suspension is is trying to soak that uh That speed bump so to try to level up The car yeah so that's good Yeah but you see the problem is that I I Let off a little bit and then I wait and Then and then the region comes but then I was like oh no that's not too much Region and then I push it so you you Probably saw me go a little bit like

This because I was trying to struggle to Find the the best region level for what I need what I request what my brain Request you know so yeah that was that Is probably one thing I want the smart To consider fixing but you know it's the Only Chinese they seem to be to want to Change and they are listening so um Hopefully uh if other engineers at smart Agree with my uh my opinions uh they Might change it or also of course if if Manual owners complain about this that They don't like this Behavior you know It's just me but if it's just me then Ignore what I said right because yeah People are different and what I think Might not be what other people think so Uh now that now that we are stop uh one Thing I like with a smart is that there Is no power on button huh that is one But there's a power button here but I Think this is for the screen Yeah you see that's just for the screen So when you're done driving you just put The car in part and then you leave the Car And then it should power off by itself If I lock it maybe or yeah okay it Locked now it locked and then when I Come back to the car And I go inside It will oh the weird thing is that it Will close this one but then when I Buckle up now

It's actually more or less like a Tesla And why they mentioned Tesla because Tesla one of the you see one of the few Cars that has this feature where there Is no power button but this is The way I like it why do we need the Power button you know just when you Enter the car there's a high chance that You want to use the infotainment system Right okay now I turn it off oh it's the Oh it stays off when I turn it off When you enter the car you probably want To do something here use navigation Listen to music so why not just fire up The car right and then wait no no no And then when you leave the car there There is a high chance that you want to Shut down everything so that power Button is extra weight extra cost extra Wiring Probably not something that will break Very easily but just remove it for Electric cars you don't need it but Anyway I think that's going to be it for Now I hope you guys enjoyed this video As always thank you for watching and Talk to you later

Electric City Vehicles (EVs)

EVs use electric motors and rechargeable batteries that free your drive from fossil fuels. They are a critical step toward reducing carbon emissions, and are popular in our area because EV owners get access to City Light’s clean, affordable electricity. Most EVs can be charged at home or work, and there are increasing numbers of public charging stations to choose from.

Some EVs operate exclusively on electricity until their battery is nearly depleted, which makes them a good choice for commuters who drive short distances and return to the same destination each day. Others–referred to as “blended mode” EVs–use both gasoline and electricity in combination.

Choosing the right EV is all about understanding how much range you need. Most EVs offer between 80 and 200 miles of range, with some capable of covering far more.

The efficiency of an EV’s battery is another important factor to consider. It determines how long it takes for an EV to add a certain number of miles, which will vary depending on the type and speed of charger used. An EV with a more efficient battery will add those miles faster.

Many automakers are developing a wide variety of electric vehicles, and a few have made their own attempts to build recharging networks for customers. The most famous of these is Better Place, which envisioned a network of battery-swap stations that would be as convenient to use as gas pumps. Unfortunately, this ambitious plan went the way of other ill-fated ideas like Tucker, DeLorean and Bricklin.
