2013 Smart ED

Greetings. Just bought a used Smart ED. I previously had a gas-powered version years ago and loved it. I’m planning on using the ED to commute to work (I can charge for free there). I paid $4500 for the car and it includes a 220v wall-mounted charger. 47,000 miles and in great shape. My question is that when fully charged it only shows 58 miles for the range. Is this normal or are my batteries just not up to snuff anymore? It’s not an issue for me because I don’t need to drive this far to work but just curious what others see when at 100% charge.

Thanks!
Ben

Welcome to SCoA and EV Life.

Range on the dash (may need to be reset?) is derived using a number of factors to include driving style and ambient temperatures.

Winter and cold weather (especially if not garaged) will drag down your range especially if you use the heater. If you have heated seats they draw far less than the heater.

“Conditioning” before timed departure can help.
