TH!NK Electric car coming to North America

The Norwegian electric car producer Think has reached across the Atlantic and established TH!NK North America in partnership with the leading clean-tech investors RockPort Capital Partners and Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers. Its electric vehicle TH!NK city, the world's only crash-tested and highway-certified electric vehicle, is emission free and 95% recyclable. It reaches a top speed of 100 km (65 miles) per hour and can drive up to 180 km (110 miles) on a single charge. The car meets all European and U.S. federal motor vehicle safety requirements. Sales in the North American market will begin in 2009.

Ive learned since that Th!nk has a battery rental racket, which blows since NiMH batteries on the Rav4 EV last 66,000 miles (over 100,000 km) and beyond.

As for GM they did even worst, they sold the pattent they should not have aquired to Chevron who made sure no one else(Toyota) could use similar technology without having the living daylights sued out of them. Chevrons should be stripped of its pattent

Mitsubishi's MiEV looks more promissing

Yeah but for how long? Don't forget what GM did to there a highway certified electric car (EV-1) they took them back and crushed them all to tiny bits. But here's hoping that there here to stay

I am getting one of these the day they are for sale in the US. Hurry up!

Great News! A highway certified electric car, oh yeah!

I look forward to the 4 door Ox model. Something close to a minivan, like the Mazda 5 with sliding rear door (but electric) would be even better,

but for now the Th!nk Ox and Mitsubishi i-MiEV are first needed to brake the barrier.

Any idea what the City and Ox 's estimated price will be in the US?
