I replaced my 9-year old diesel smart car with… another smart car. Electric Drive.
I hated the newer-generation smarts. The engine taking premium gas to get mediocre fuel economy, and the god-awful transmission made it significantly worse than mine to drive. But the electric drivetrain changes all that.
The range isn't great, but it will probably work nicely for 90% of the driving I need to do. The combination of generous incentives from Mercedes-Benz Canada and their corporate dealer network, combined with a handsome government EV rebate program, made for an absurdly good lease deal. Had a blast on the drive home, and took it down to about 5% charge. :lol:
If you haven't driven an EV yet, you owe it to yourself to try one.
