Nowhere is its 8.8 feet long. efficiency more evident than in the city, where space is at a premium. Few cars can negotiate Whether rushing to an important meeting or running a quick errand, why waste time looking tight urban spaces as nimbly and effortlessly for a parking space? At just 8.8 feet in length, the smart fortwo fits easily into spaces that other cars can only pass by. as the smart fortwo. It‘s the ideal car for city life. When the distance being traveled is short, we can still be faced with stop-and-go traffic and a scarcity of parking. The smart fortwo can fit into parking spaces that other bigger, less efficient cars can‘t. Still, storage in the smart fortwo is plentiful, so you‘ll never lack a place to put all your city essentials. An entire week’s worth of groceries can fit comfortably into the back of the smart fortwo. The folding passenger seat makes it easy to transport longer, larger items when necessary. So if you become infatuated with, say, a new floor lamp, you can take it home quite easily. Put the smart fortwo’s luggage compartment to your own test.

Overall losses for these Smart ForTwo vehicles were 209 percent higher than other comparable 2008–09 vehicles. As seen in the figure below, when examining the impact of vehicle age, the frequency of noncrash fire claims for 2008–09 Smart ForTwo vehicles was higher than other comparable 2008–09 vehicles and increased with vehicle age. Estimated differences in noncrash fire claim frequency for 2008-09 Smart ForTwo versus 2008-09 control vehicles by vehicle age 450% 400% 350% 300% 250% 200% 150% 100% 50% 0% -1 to 2 3 to 5 6 to 9 Introduction Reports of noncrash fires in the Smart ForTwo have been on the rise, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administra- tion (NHTSA) reports. Owners can file vehicle complaints with NHTSA on the agency’s safercar.gov website. A No- vember 12, 2015, complaint filed with NHTSA states that after a 10–15 minute drive, smoke was seen coming out of the rear of the car, and flames were visible once the engine compartment was opened (NHTSA, 2015). NHTSA is currently investigating to evaluate the cause, scope, and frequency of the fires (Edelstein, 2016). This investigation may result in a recall of the Smart ForTwo. This Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) report evaluates noncrash fire insurance losses for the 2008–09 Smart ForTwo.

  • HLDI Bulletin | Vol 33, No
    Highway Loss Data Institute Bulletin Vol. 33, No. 4 : April 2016 Insurance losses – comparison of electric vehicles and their conventional counterparts while adjusting for mileage Summary Unlike conventional and hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles are powered exclusively by electricity stored in batteries. They do not directly consume any fossil fuel and thus have a limited range without recharging the batteries. In 2015, the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) first published insurance loss results comparing electric vehicles with their conventional counterparts (HLDI, 2015). That research found collision, property damage liability, and comprehensive claim frequencies for electric vehicles with gasoline powered variants and the Nissan Leaf to be lower than their comparison vehicles. The results for Tesla differed. This analysis compares insurance losses for electric vehicles and their conventional counterparts under collision and property damage liability. Claim frequencies were calculated both with and without controlling for vehicle miles traveled. The mileage information was made available through a cooperative agreement with CARFAX®. CARFAX is a unit of IHS Inc. and provides vehicle history reports. The electric series vehicles in this analysis and the Nissan Leaf were found to be driven about 30 percent fewer miles per day than their conventional counterparts. The Tesla Model S, however, is driven differently and accumulates about 10 percent more miles per day than other midsize luxury cars. Under the studied coverage types, the change in claim frequency for the electric vehicles with gasoline powered variants and the Nissan Leaf were were not as large once mileage was included in the regression model. The change in claim frequencies for the Tesla Model S however, were larger than those for the comparison vehicles once miles per day were included.
