Commercial sales are expected to begin in 2012. The Smart EV electric vehicle runs solely on its electric motor, with an output of 41hp. Daimler claims EV models acceleration performance is equivalent to that of the gas model. 

Now Daimler has made the decision to have Tesla supply the Lithium-ion battery for the all new smart fortwo EV. The Smart Fortwo ED will have a 41hp electric motor that can reach speeds up to 70 mph and have a range of 70 miles for now. With the improvements being made in the battery development this range will surely increase.
