Hello JHM,
Did you have any luck? My 2014 Smart Electric sat unused this winter and when I got back to it, it was dead. Dealership says I need a new $13,000 battery. This seems so crazy to me. It was working perfectly and now it is a write - off. In the US, it seems that electric vehicle credits that the manufactures received were contingent upon extending the battery warranty to 8 years but this doesn't appear to be the case in Canada.
