As Smart's lineup goes completely electric in the United States, the brand positions itself within Mercedes' EQ family of EVs.

Or, as Kamaal suggested it is now just another M-B model.

The unfortunately named Smart ED models (come on, you know why) will now be called Smart EQ ForTwo.

The smart brand is officially dead. The smart car is not.

I couldn’t find any mention of a larger battery. Faster charging for Europe, yes.

Did I overlook s/thing?

They're going to start offering a 22kwh battery which is approx 25% larger than the current battery.

Aahhh. That’s the new onboard battery **charger** spec for Euro market cars, I believe.
