Charging Speed
The Toyota bZ4X has the higher published DC charging figure at 150 kW, which is comparable to the Smart #1 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 Toyota bZ4X is listed at about 29 minutes, which is 1 minutes quicker than the Smart #1 at 30 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The Toyota bZ4X has a WLTP rated range of approximately 528 km, which is roughly 108 km more than the Smart #1 at approximately 420 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 Toyota bZ4X consumes 153 Wh/km, compared to 170 Wh/km for the Smart #1. That means the Toyota bZ4X 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 Toyota bZ4X has approximately 71 kWh of useable battery , while the Smart #1 has approximately 62 kWh.
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.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Toyota bZ4X is the more efficient choice at 153 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the Toyota bZ4X has a WLTP rated range of approximately 528 km, which is roughly 108 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.
