Anyone out there who's repaired their electric Smart bofre? I gotta admit, I was nervous about the high-voltage stuff, but turns out the 3rd generation is built tough and most repairs are familiar for mechanics who've worked on regular cars. Even the fancy chargers weren't too bad. So if you're thinking about giving it a go yourself, don't be intimidated.
 
I do most of the maintenance on my Smart myself. It's now at 60k miles and has proven to be incredibly reliable. Repairs are usually simple, with the exception of anything electrical.
 
This is inspiring! I haven’t tried any major repairs yet, but I’ve always wondered how approachable the high-voltage components actually are. What tools or safety gear would you recommend to someone starting out? Also, how did you learn to handle the charging system, trial and error, or did you find a good guide? I’m definitely bookmarking this for when I get braver!
