    With the Electric Smart Car, Trump's purveyors can use them as the golf cart and simply drive them home after a round.

    is 0-30 going to be the new standard for EV's? or are they just using that because 0-60 comes in over 5 minutes down hill?

    lmao…5 min down hill…with a push!

    Top speed on this thing is 80 mph…I doubt you'd get an hours worth of drive time in if you forced it to hit 60. I've heard smart's handle like crap at highway speeds too.
