TH!NK city EV presented in London

July 24th, 2008

Although the new TH!NK city electric vehicle is not as sexy as the Lightning GT EV, it is certainly much more viable solution for a city suffocating in CO2 and clouds of soot.

The TH!NK EV, the Norway “Think” company claims in its press release, is the world’s first and still only fully crash-tested and highway-certified electric car.

The tiny transportation device offers seating for two adults and provides a formidable cargo space, offering a top speed of 65mpg and a range of 126 miles in the city cycle.

Its lithium-ion battery pack takes about four hours to charge from 20 to 80 percent capacity and the company promises that it will be good for over 10,000 miles use with the total cost of electricity hovering in the region of £100.

Well, that’s nice, but I’m afraid the total cost of replacing the dead battery will be much higher than 100 quid, though.
