Jon Guzik’s Borrow seems to like SmartEVs. Borrow is a short-term EV-only leasing service in California, and they’ll get you anything you want, but they seem to like Smarts. Not to mention that BBI Motorsport, a fairly acclaimed Porsche tuner, uses one as a shop vehicle.

The Spark EV is sort of the hot rod of the budget EV world though.

Honestly, there’s enough out there that I’d just pick one you like and go with it.

With regards to battery longevity, it’s always hard to say. The sample size is small, and you don’t know who is more likely to abuse their batteries yet.
