Smith's Electric – further models: the collective page of the British electric commercial-vehicle manufacturer beyond the named series, the model D100L, 6,590 to 7,985 kg kerb weight, around 9
Smith's Electric Vehicles is a British manufacturer of battery-electric commercial vehicles with roots in Washington, Tyne and Wear, historically known for its electric milk floats before the company also built larger electric trucks. This collective page gathers the model the register could not assign to a named series, listed under two spellings: D 100 L and D100L – the same vehicle type, once with and once without a space. The number 100 in the type designation usually denotes the payload class at Smith's Electric.

The register lists 2 entries here with no combustion engine, kerb weights of 6,590 to 7,985 kg, a permissible gross weight of 9,990 kg, and lengths of 7,520 to 7,940 mm with widths of 2,350 to 2,550 mm.
With battery-electric chassis in this weight class, Smith's Electric positioned itself in British distribution traffic, where electric trucks, owing to limited range, were mainly used in urban local traffic for retail and municipal services, long before battery-electric drivetrains became a mass topic in the heavy commercial-vehicle segment.
When buying a used example of these early electric commercial vehicles, check the condition and capacity of the battery, the condition of the charging socket and on-board charger, the function of the electric motor, and corrosion on the frame and chassis; parts for the drivetrain are today only available through specialist suppliers for historic electric vehicles.
