Think Electric Car test drive

The Think City Electric Car test drive was very fun, this is a small and affordable car that will be available for sale in the US in the next few months and we really look forward to it.

The fully charged car goes as far as 100 miles and it's a perfect weekday car to go to work and drive around the city. The car was brought from Michigan to California for a special event and we were lucky enough to drive it. The Think City electric vehicle looks small from the outside but is fairly large and tall on the inside, I felt really safe driving it. It's a little noisy inside but nothing bad. The maximum speed is around 70 miles per hour (112 Km) and they didn't want to tell me how much it would cost but I have my guesses ($10,000 to 15,000) since, well, it's made out of plastic. Another benefit of the body is that it wouldn't get scratched. The car comes with a radio and has an option for a GPS, two things I definitely need! Other interesting facts are that the battery lasts 100,000 miles or a minimum of ten years, something other cars won't live to see! Lastly, the first maintenance check is at 40,000 miles.

Think EV is a Scandinavian company that calls themselves "one of the most carbon efficient car companies in the world". I just took a look at their new Think City design and I like it much better than this one we test drove. I hope we'll be able to see them take over the roads of major US cities and our very own garages! What could be better than never going to a gas station, never having to change the oil and never having to change the filter again?! I also discovered that this car has only five moving parts versus a conventional car that usually has hundreds of moving parts, making it much harder to break and easier to find out a problem when it arises. With gas prices skyrocketing (will it ever end?) it makes me even more excited to drive cars such as Think City. Of course it can't be as fun as the Tesla but it's an amazing automobile.

I saw another nice little ladybug @ 2:27, wonder if that one was electric as well. That girl is quite cute too :)

[EcoBold]

@spectrospirit yes it's also electric :)

[daggad03]

This car is quite common in Norway !

@garrettgerbil13 you have to do the same when a car runs out of gasoline,is that any less annoying?

[c33r0k33]

wow... for $4k more I could have a i-MiEV. Personally, I don't care to go into debt and can pay off the Th!nk thanks to my dealer. When I look at my neighbor limp home, I think the best way to honor his and others sacrifices is to buy a car within my chosen budget that can actually me MY needs. The Th!nk will meet it.

Now where is the video of the safety test where they crash this little plastic piece of crap into real car?

[Dualshock21]

lol, It got the same rear lights as the 2000 lamborghini diablo vt

At least this car is better than the fossil fuel powered shit that the vast majority of everyone else drives.

@steffbold I own a Think City and it is not worth $35K. Same price as a Nissan Leaf. I test drove a Leaf last week and it makes my Think City look pathetic. If the Think City sold for about $15K it would be quite popular. Think and Wheego aren't going to survive unless they can get their price down. The Leaf is a feature packed family size car.

@GTvlogOFFICIAL When I was a kid in the 60s the old geezers called all the smaller cars death traps. Those 60s and 70s death traps are now considered full size and safe. The small car death trap line is old as dirt.

Sorry but you are way off on the price, hon. In the U.S., it's about $36,000 before rebates which MAY bring it down to around $27-28,000 if you qualify for all rebates. The other thing to consider in this country is how quickly you will die if you get in an accident in that thing.

They make these cars within spitting distance from where I am so I'm not trying to de-promote it; just laying out some facts for y'all.

@spectrospirit yes I heard about it, they were also pricing it very high, something like 40k!

@EcoBold Sweet :) btw did you know Think has gone bankrupt? It didn't really surprised me as it isn't the prettiest EV to date and everyone knows that good design sells, but i also think it was because it was a little noisy in high speed and not very convenient. But Norway has another EV, if you have heard of "Buddy"? And Japan has developed another EV which can easily challenge Porsche. If you haven't heard of Eliica, you should really check it out. South-Korea are also on with their Spirra EV
