6250Euros plus tax solar city car, swappable batteries

Remember air con is useful for evacuating moisture, ie windows open a crack blast & go, it's how I do it in the smarts.
Before you hit the buy on an unknown, i'd take a gander at the 451 series 4? Smart ED low mileage is definitely available & top speed that means motorway usage is possible.
Same size boot & behind seat storage allowed us to load up pretty well at the wholesalers too Jenga stacking & when shopping enough bootspace for a weeks shop.
Are you able to test drive the golf cart? ...can see a lot of steamy window potential like the AMi suffers (badly from)

Not sure I would be happy on a motorway in one of these...
(In it) just stick to journeys impossible/impracticable by public transport!

+1 for the aircon.

As an example, for some reason I accidently left the windows on vent (slightly open) on my Tesla App yesterday. Today after about 12 hours of rain, I found one side had let in quite a bit of rain. I mopped up as much as I could but the carpets were still very wet. I started up the aircon, and left it on for a couple of hours. Now dry as a bone, even when its still drizzling outside.

No AE, I was referring to the 451 ED top speed of 78mph

Got excited there for a minute, not considered an electric Smart - or Smart EQ - but just looked and cheapest I could find was a 2 year old ForFour - CAT S - for a tad under £10k. Anything else, i.e. a ForTwo was much older for the same money. £7k more gets me a 2 year old MG5 with a 61kWh battery and supposed 250 mile range and balance of 7 year warranty.

Look on the wiki link for the 451 electric differences.. then you see the difference(s)
They do turn up & you can get a deal if you look around long enough.

Evilution website for some detail on all things smart car.

Fiat 500 E & the early smart electrics are still "linked" by the motor, if you care to read up.

Don’t worry it won’t be allowed on the motorway. It’ll be homologated as a quad bike…

On further reading, the admittedly eye-catching aptera claims a mere 10 miles per kWh compared to the Squads 12 miles per kWh in Northeren climes. Just goes to show that its hard to beat solar panel actual area.

That leads me onto thin film application to flat surfaces, mppt controller, 4 batteries, a couple of roll out flexible solar mats and could it get me to Turkey?

A flying carpet? Very appropriate for the area...
