Smart Electic Fortwo to be Tested in London * Smart is testing electric Fortwo in London * Businesses and councils can trial car * Car has 70-mile range and 70mph top speed Electric_smart_fourtwo_3London was chosen because it is regarded as one of the least car-friendly cities in the world. Businesses in the central area not only have to cope with the £8(US$16) - a-day congestion fee, but also face high parking charges and heavy traffic density. The electric version is powered by a 40bhp motor, can go up to 70 miles before the battery goes flat and has a top speed of 70mph. Recharging is done through a standard electrical power point and costs about £1.20, producing the equivalent of 60g/km of carbon dioxide emissions at the power station, Smart says. That's a far lower figure than any petrol or diesel car in the world. thefraserdomain.typepad.com
