Charging Speed
The Smart #5 has the higher published DC charging figure at 200 kW, which is roughly 33% higher than the Maserati Grecale Folgore 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 #5 is listed at about 28 minutes, which is 10 minutes quicker than the Maserati Grecale Folgore at 38 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The Smart #5 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 550 km, which is roughly 20 km more than the Maserati Grecale Folgore at approximately 530 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 #5 consumes 202 Wh/km, compared to 219 Wh/km for the Maserati Grecale Folgore. That means the Smart #5 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 #5 has approximately 96 kWh of useable battery , while the Maserati Grecale Folgore has approximately 98.6 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
If fast charging is your priority, the Smart #5 has the higher published DC figure (up to 200 kW) and the shorter published charge time at approximately 28 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.
Both cars support 22 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Smart #5 is the more efficient choice at 202 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the Smart #5 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 550 km, which is roughly 20 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

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.
