smart #1 Brabus charging cost & time
| Scenario | Energy | Time | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public DC 20% → 80% | 39.6 kWh | 26 minutes | $30.49 |
| Public DC 0% → 100% | 66 kWh | 1 hours 7 minutes | $50.82 |
| At home (AC) 20% → 80% | 39.6 kWh | 1 hours 48 minutes | $11.77 |
smart #1 Brabus charging time by charger power
How long the smart #1 Brabus takes to charge at different charger power levels, capped by its own onboard limits.
| Charger | Power | Charge | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard outlet | 2.2 kW | 0% → 100% | 30 hours |
| Home wallbox | 7 kW | 0% → 100% | 9 hours 26 minutes |
| Public AC | 22 kW | 0% → 100% | 3 hours |
| DC fast | 150 kW | 10% → 80% | 30 minutes |
AC rows assume constant charging power and a 0% to 100% charge. Real times vary with the onboard charger, temperature, and the charger you use.
The DC fast row (10% to 80%) is anchored to a measured charging time for this model, so it reflects the real charging curve. Times still vary with temperature and conditions.
Charging speed
Based on measured data, the smart #1 Brabus charges 10% → 80% on DC fast charging in about 30 minutes, peaking at around 150 kW. 66 kWh NMC; 150 kW peak to ~10%.
The smart #1 Brabus is estimated to charge from 20% to 80% on public DC fast charging in about 26 minutes (ultra-fast DC).

Battery care
This car uses an NMC battery. For daily use, charging to about 80% and topping up to 100% only before long trips helps it last longer; heat is the main thing that ages it.
Savings vs a petrol car
This charge adds about 204 km of range for $30.49. Driving the same distance on petrol would cost:
| Engine size | Petrol cost | You save |
|---|---|---|
| ≤ 1000 cc | $38.82 | $8.33 |
| 1000–1500 cc | $45.88 | $15.39 |
| 1500–2000 cc | $56.47 | $25.98 |
| 2000–2500 cc | $67.05 | $36.56 |
| > 2500 cc | $81.17 | $50.68 |
Estimated from typical combined fuel use by engine size and RON95 at $3.46/L. Charging at home saves the most; actual figures vary with driving and conditions.
