Smart #2 begins road testing ahead of October debut
The car's agility, stability, safety and refinement is being validated.

The car's agility, stability, safety and refinement is being validated.

With the Electric Car Grant, the 500e now starts at £17,245, for the Icon model with the smaller 24kWh battery and 118 miles of range.

The CLA was commended for its low energy consumption, strong range and fast charging capabilities, as well as its five-star sustainability rating.

The vehicle's debut is to take place simultaneously across 65 markets.

It took inspiration from the brand's V8 engines, referencing their rhythm instead of imitating their sound.

The report, named 'Taking Charge', argued that city Governments should develop a 'Charging Masterplan' that maps projected demand by district.

It is the best-selling car in China, where it is sold as the Geely Xingyuan.

It is expected to launch later in 2026, following the full-size Range Rover Electric.

13,293 vouchers were redeemed under the Workplace Charging Scheme in 2022, before redemptions fell by 25.31% in 2023 and a further 33.18% in 2024.

The tool now combines site selection, planning intelligence, rollout monitoring and connections guidance, with real-time dashboards and visualisation tools.
