OK, so it finally happened. I'm sitting at the gas pump ciphering my fuel mileage when the lady at the next pump asked me if the smart was an electric car. I only regret that I didn't have a snappy come-back (smart ass reply) ready. Even after I told her that it was gas powered, 3 cylinder, blah, blah, blah, her response was "So the batteries are up here in front?" pointing to the bonnet. Um, yea, that's correct. Buh bye.
I got that question so many times while I had a fuel nozzle in the car that I now say 'It's electric but I am so addicted to gas I just can't give it up cold turkey'!.....
A lot of people who ask if it is electric are really asking in their stupid roundabout way, "Is that a HYBRID?". A lot of times that are what they are getting at - be easy on them.
That's nothing! Are you ready for this one? I was in the parking lot of Panda Express when I woman stop smack right in front of me in her suv and asked me " is that one of those cars that run on water?" were to I replied yes and asked her if she had a 16.9oz btl with here cuz I had just run out of water. Geezzz were did that come from?!
When I get my Smart I'm *really* tempted to glue a large electrical outlet (like the kind for a dryer) on the side or back of the car. That'll REALLY confuse people.

OH MAN! I could of run with that. If she gave me water I'd of not opened the gas cap but opened the gas door and poured it in there (it would of come out the drain hole but I bet she wouldn't of noticed it)
