This is a really strange article. It's as though someone mistakenly
copied a news release from 2013 and changed the date to 2016. What it
describes is what's in my 2013 Smart ForTwo Electric Drive. (Although
top speed is actually 83mph. I've heard. ;) )
And as another link Bruce posted says, Daimler has canceled further
production of the Smart ED until 2017.

launching the ForTwo Electric Drive mid-next year, it got quite a number of
people excited.
This is probably due to the fact that the consumers finally see some value
in Smart if it is to take on the mainstream EV market with the ForTwo. After
all, the superb eMPG that might come with the vehicle can cover back the
extra expenses to purchase the car.
The word is that the ForTwo Electric Drive is going to run on a 17.6kWh
lithium battery which sends the power to an electric motor which develops
74PS and 130Nm of torque. While not much, the ForTwo ED can sprint from
0-62mph in 11.5 seconds and there is a top speed of 78mph.
The icing on the cake is with the travel range that is promised to be about
76 miles in the city ...
