Shannon Bennett Embraces Eco Luxury with smart #3 in Byron Bay


Byron Bay’s favourite off-grid chef, Shannon Bennett, has taken sustainable living to the next level by adding the all-electric smart #3 to his eco-friendly lifestyle. Known for his award-winning fine diner, Vue de Monde, and his regular MasterChef appearances, Bennett is no stranger to combining innovation with style—whether in the kitchen or on the road.

In a short video shared on LSH Auto Australia’s LinkedIn page, Bennett showcases how the smart #3 seamlessly fits into his completely self-powered Byron retreat. With a rooftop solar array generating all his energy needs and a flourishing kitchen garden at his fingertips, his home embodies the future of sustainable luxury. Now, with a 455km range, the smart #3 allows him to cruise through the Northern Rivers’ picturesque coast and hinterland, collecting premium produce for his culinary creations.

Available at dedicated smart experience centres in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, this premium EV is reshaping the way Australians think about sustainable luxury on the road.
