A couple of decades ago, electric cars were not taken seriously. That’s because the whole idea of driving a vehicle using only a battery wasn’t yet too developed back then. It’s just like driving a toy car that would run out of gas right in the middle of the race.
However, the dwindling gas reserves have made alternative energy to become a hotly-pursued commodity. When electric cars entered the picture several years later, they were no longer ridiculed. Instead, they were welcomed with open arms because of the potential that they laid on the table.
Meanwhile, a Norwegian automaker called Think Global has been tinkering on electric cars for a few years now. After a few failed attempts in making a prototype, the company finally launched the impressive Th!nk City. Basically, the Th!nk City is the only crash-tested and highway-certified electric car in the world. That alone speaks volumes about how well this car was designed and built. When it comes to performance, the Th!nk City can go as fast as 65 mph and a range of about 126 miles. Aside from that, you can drag in four people inside, because it has enough space for that.
The Th!nk City is not a microcar unlike other electric vehicles out there. In fact, it can even be classified as a sub-compact because of its size and design. On the other hand, the Th!nk City costs around 32,500 USD. Although that may be a bit too pricey, just think of how much you’ll save with your gas bills. Since it’s an electric car, it does not emit any noxious gases that can harm the environment. Apart from that, it’s ideal for your city-driving needs anytime of the day or week.
