Side-by-Side Specs
| Spec | Lynk&Co 02 | Smart #3 |
|---|---|---|
| Compared variant | Standard | Premium |
| Battery (approx.) | ~62 kWh | ~62 kWh |
| WLTP range (rated) | ~415 km | ~415 km |
| Efficiency (approx.) | ~175 Wh/km | ~175 Wh/km |
| DC fast charging (published) | up to 150 kW | up to 150 kW |
| 10-80% charge time (approx.) | ~28 min | ~28 min |
| Max AC charging | up to 22 kW | up to 22 kW |

Charging Speed
The Smart #3 has the higher published DC charging figure at 150 kW, which is comparable to the Lynk&Co 02 at 150 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.
For the published fast-charge window, the Smart #3 is listed at about 28 minutes, roughly matching the Lynk&Co 02. In this case, the headline kW number should not drive the decision by itself.
Range and Efficiency
The Smart #3 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 415 km, which is comparable to the Lynk&Co 02 at approximately 415 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.
Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Smart #3 consumes 175 Wh/km, compared to 175 Wh/km for the Lynk&Co 02. That means the Smart #3 uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.
A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Smart #3 has approximately 62 kWh of useable battery , matching its rival.
Which One Should You Choose?
Both cars show similar published DC fast-charging figures at 150 kW. For road trips, the one with more range between stops may be more practical.
Both cars support 22 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.
Both cars have similar efficiency at 175 Wh/km, so daily charging costs should be comparable.
Both have similar WLTP rated range at approximately 415 km. The best choice depends on how you charge, how far you drive, and personal preference.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
