The Smart EQ fortwo has a reported range of up to 83 miles and the vehicle has a Type 2 socket. All of the Type 2 charging cables that we have available to buy on this page (listed below) are compatible for charging all models of the EQ fortwo including the Sportback and quattro models. The maximum charging speed when connected to an AC charging point is 4.6kW, but there is also an optional upgrade to a 22kW onboard charger. Concerned that the charging cable might exceed your vehicle’s maximum charging capacity? Don’t worry. Regardless of whether the cable is 7kW, 11kW, or 22kW, it’s safe to use. Your vehicle will always draw the correct amount of current and will not draw more current than (1) the vehicle can acccept, (2) the power supply can provide or, (3) the cable can carry.
Which is the best Mode 3 Type 2 to Type 2 32A charging cable for the Smart EQ fortwo?
We recommend the 3 Phase 32A charging cable for charging the Smart EQ fortwo at a public charging point or home wall box. The 3 Phase 32A cable will provide up to 22kW (if the optional 22kW onboard charger is installed) when using a 3Phase 32A charging point and 4.6kW when using a 1 Phase 32A charging point such as a home wall charger. However, the 1 Phase 32A charging cable is recommended if the onboard charger is 4.6kW.
Which 3 pin charger is recommended for charging the Smart EQ fortwo with a 13A UK plug?
f you require a 3 pin charger (also known as Mode 2, home charger and granny charger) for charging the Smart EQ fortwo with a 13A 230V home / mains socket, we recommend our 10A adjustable current 3 pin charger for regular charging. A fixed 10A 3 pin charger is not recommended due to issues reported with some models of the Smart when using a charger where the vehicle cannot adjust the current.
Can I charge an Smart EQ fortwo with a Commando socket?
If your premises has a Commando socket, or you want to charge your vehicle at a location that has one, such as a campsite or marina, then we have a selection of 1 Phase and 3 Phase CEE chargers to fit all 3 pin and 5 pin CEE sockets. The CEE socket may be 1 Phase 16A or 32A or 3 phase 16A or 32A. So please check before you buy. We also sell a multi adapter charger that can be used to charge the Smart EQ fortwo with both 3 Phase (red) 16A (11kW) and 32A (22kW) CEE sockets and both 1 Phase (blue) 16A (3.7kW) and 32A (7.4kW) CEE sockets.
Which charging cables are included with the Smart EQ fortwo?
The Smart EQ fortwo is usually supplied with a Type 2 to Type 2 32A charging cable. From experience, we know that this information can change. Even when a cable does not come factory supplied with the EV, the dealer / seller still might provide one anyway or the manufacturer may stop including a cable as standard. The best way to be certain is to contact your dealer / seller to confirm which charging cable(s) are supplied with the vehicle.

Charging times are approximate due to the variables that can influence the charging times. To date, all Smart models manufactured in Europe have an AC Type 2 socket.
This is a guide only and the charging times and charging capacity depend upon the model and battery capacity of your electric vehicle as well as the charging capacity of the charging point. A charging cable described as 3kW has a maximum charge of 3.7kW. A charging cable described as 7kW has a maximum charge of 7.4kW. The EV cables below are not manufactured by Smart. However, all the cables below are compatible with your EV. Please read your vehicle handbook. The recommended Type 2 to Type 2 Mode 3 charging cable is based on the EV cable that provides the fastest possible charge when using both a 1 Phase 32A and 3 Phase 32A charging station. This information is subject to change. If the AC onboard charger (OBC) of your vehicle is above 7.4kW then the 3 Phase 32A cable is always recommended.
