EV Chargers Compatible with Smart Fortwo

Starting at $179

Smart cars are the sporty, ultra Compact EVs familiar in some U.S. states. The Smart fortwo is the leading model and Smart was one of the first companies to introduce electric vehicles. There are now a large number of used Smart cars on the roads. We receive requests for Smart EV chargers for new vehicles and new owners that have bought a used Smart Car and need a Smart EV charger since no EV charger came with the vehicle. We recommend NEMA 14-50 or NEMA 14-30 Smart car EV chargers.
