Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Smart #3 Pro. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.
Europe
Charging an EV in Europe differs by country. Some European countries primarily use 1-phase connections to the grid, while other countries are almost exclusively using a 3-phase connection. The table below shows all possible ways the Smart #3 Pro can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)
Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Smart #3 Pro.

About this Vehicle
Smart #3 Pro Overview
The Smart #3 Pro positions itself as a premium electric SUV coupe in the compact segment, blending stylish design with efficient EV performance for urban drivers and small families. Built on the Geely SEA2 dedicated EV platform, this Smart electric SUV targets style-conscious buyers seeking a sporty alternative to mainstream crossovers, with its aerodynamic coupe-like silhouette, 5-seat capacity, and dimensions of 4400mm x 1844mm x 1556mm. Key distinguishing features include a 66 kWh NMC battery, rear-wheel drive setup, and advanced tech like Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability at 3.3 kW, making it versatile for daily commutes and light adventures.
In the evolving EV landscape, the Smart #3 Pro review highlights its appeal as an accessible premium option from the revitalized Smart brand, co-developed with Geely. With a WLTP range of 435 km (270 miles), sleek SUV coupe styling, and competitive pricing around $57,900, it stands out for buyers prioritizing EV specs like efficiency (143 Wh/km) and a frunk plus expandable boot (260-1160 L). This model matters by offering Mercedes-inspired design heritage in a more affordable, tech-forward package, challenging perceptions of Smart as just city cars.
Smart #3 Pro Performance and Driving Experience
The Smart #3 Pro delivers spirited performance with its single rear-mounted electric motor producing 200 kW (268 hp) and 343 Nm (253 lb-ft) of torque, achieving 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 5.8 seconds. Its rear-wheel-drive configuration provides agile handling and precise steering, enhanced by a 2785 mm wheelbase and 11 m turning circle, ideal for city maneuvering and twisty roads.
