Smart ForTwo ED coming in 2010

[beatusmongous]

Woohoo! I just read in one of my favorite car blogs the news that Diamler is planning on producing the Smart ForTwo Electric Drive in 2010. The post can be found here:

Daimler to produce Smart, Mercedes-Benz electric cars in 2010

What would you guys think about an electric version of your Smart?

If it provides enough range for a few days to and from work (100 miles) and gets up to 70mph on demand... for a reasonable price premium, of course... I'll be all over it like white on rice.


I can't currently afford $40k for a LiV Dash, but if the Dash can be produced in small quantities for that much, surely Daimler-Benz can bring it down to 25-30k. I also want a decent warranty, even if I have to pay extra for extended terms. Multiple price points, I can deal with. In two years I can probably afford a $30k electric car.

Oh, and keep it Smart small. I love the size of this thing.

Sorry about that. I started typing the post a while before, and then had to stop to do some other things at work before I could finish the post and hit the button. At the time, there was no other post about the ED, just the one about the LiVDash, which isn't the same thing.
