Th!nk about the next car you buy
May 26, 2008 · Print This Article

Next moment you’re in the market for a new car, you may want to Th!nk about your options. Think, the Norwegian electric car producer, just announced the establishment of THINK North America. They are partnering with leading clean tech investors Kleiner Perkins, Caulfield, and Byers and RockPort Capital Partners. Similar to an article I wrote about Tesla Motors and the Tesla Roadster, Think North America is going to help revolutionize the car industry.
Think currently offers one model, the TH!NK city. The specs on the TH!NK city are amazing. Not only is the car 100 percent electric and emissions free, but it is plus 95 percent recyclable. The car can go 110 miles on a separate charge and reaches speeds of up to 65 miles per hour, all while meeting US car safety standards. In addition to the TH!NK city, they additionally have the Ox and open under development. Both of these cars will offer all the great environmental benefits of the TH!NK city. The
Ox will be the first five seater electric car, while the open will be a convertible version of the city.The TH!NK city was made with a huge number of environmental applications and innovations. First, as I mentioned, the car is nearly 100 percent recyclable and is additionally made from recycled materials. The car’s batteries are designed to be returned to the supplier and recycled at the end of their life. The car’s body, made of recyclable ABS plastic, is perfect for city driving, where you get a ton of annoying scratches and dings. On top of all that, the car is technologically advanced. It’s completely connected, so TH!NK engineers can monitor the car remotely just like you will be able to. Pricing is estimated to be 20,000 Euros, which is around $30,000 US dollars. My bet is that pricing will be lower when the TH!NK is introduced in the US. I can’t wait!
