The Smart ED is so small inside, that the air conditioner cools the cabin down very quickly. 


I chose the red/black interior where the seat back is red fabric, so doesn't heat up as quick as a darker color would.


There is no insulation effect, it's solid plexiglass, but is tinted to keep some amount of light out, and the rest of the car is very thin panels, so not insulated much at all.  This means the car is very light and fun to throw around on the road.


However, the lack of insulation is noticeable on very very cold days (-24C was the coldest we had last winter, and that was without wind chill!) where I run the cabin heater full blast for my entire commute, and range drops to less than 80 km.


The upside is a really light and airy cabin, and wonderful on summer days.
