Michael Brecht tested the smart EQ fortwo for a few days in downtown Augsburg. Electric cars are made for use in crowded city centres. Especially in the old town with its narrow alleys and winding squares, the smart EQ is perfect for use.

Hardly any other electric car is so suitable for use in the city. Accelerated to 60 km/h in just five seconds, manoeuvrable and all this with a range of 160 kilometres (according to NEDC). With the typical driving behaviour of city dwellers, reloading every 3-4 days is sufficient.

The smart EQ easily manages parking even in the tightest parking spaces or multi-storey car parks. And thanks to the delivery services of the retail trade, we no longer need a large trunk for shopping in the city. This is how mobility works on the last mile today.
