Daimler's Smart electric scooter claims a 62-mile range and a recharging time of three to five hours on a regular power outlet, while the Mini's range is 50 to 60 miles with a recharge time of four to five hours. By contrast, Nissan Motor Co.'s coming electric car, the Leaf, requires eight hours of charging using a special home dock and is expected to travel 80 or so miles on a charge. [WSJ]
