Winter Range
Smart #1 Winter Range
Updated March 2026
The Smart #1 handles winter well thanks to its standard heat pump and battery preconditioning. With a 62 kWh battery and 335 km of rated range, it has enough capacity to absorb winter losses and still cover most daily needs. Drivers using our app report that preconditioning before departure makes a clear difference in cold-weather efficiency. In cold weather, expect roughly 307 km at -10°C, a loss of about 27%. These are estimates and your actual range will vary. Check your vehicle's manual for exact specifications.

Range by Temperature
These are estimates based on the Smart #1's battery size, efficiency, and whether it has a heat pump. Real results depend on driving style, terrain, speed, and cabin heating use.
| Temperature | Est. range | vs. summer |
|---|---|---|
| -20°C | 273 km | -35% |
| -15°C | 286 km | -32% |
| -10°C | 307 km | -27% |
| -5°C | 336 km | -20% |
| 0°C | 365 km | -13% |
| +5°C | 382 km | -9% |
| +10°C | 399 km | -5% |
| +15°C | 412 km | -2% |
| +20°C | 420 km | baseline |
Maximizing Winter Range
- Expect about 28% range loss at -20C and about 20% at -10C, thanks to the standard heat pump. That gives you roughly 240 km at -20C and 268 km at -10C.
- Use preconditioning while still plugged in to warm the battery and cabin before departure. This uses grid power instead of battery power, preserving range for driving.
- The heat pump keeps cabin heating efficient, but avoid setting the temperature too high. Every degree above what you need draws extra energy, even with a heat pump.
- Use seat and steering wheel heating as your primary warmth source. These use a fraction of the energy compared to raising the overall cabin temperature.
- Precondition the battery before DC fast charging in cold weather. The Smart #1 supports this and it helps maintain charging speeds closer to the 150 kW peak.
