Smart ForTwo

Compared to the European-only first generation Smart Car, the U.S.-bound Smart ForTwo is vastly superior on all fronts. But the original was so dreadful on so many levels (handling, noise, mileage, power, you name it), the question that now lurks is: Are the improvements implemented in the new ForTwo significant enough to meet the demands of American roadways?

The eBox

The company chose the Scion xB because of its light weight, practicality (seats five, good storage), ease of conversion, and relative affordability. The cost of conversion will add another $55,000 to the purchase price, but the final result may be the closest thing available today to an EV that can meet the average driver’s need for convenience and drivability: air conditioning, power steering, power windows, power mirrors and remote door locks. Just like a Scion xB, but no emissions. The eBox accelerates to 60 mph in 7 seconds, reaches a top speed of 95 mph and will go between 120 and 150 miles on a charge. The company expects to build 20 to 25 eBoxes through early 2008. Orders take approximately six to eight months to complete. The warranty for the batteries is still being worked out.
