Th!nk
I have been following Th!nk, a small electric car company out of Norway, for over four years. Th!nk began as a part of Ford Motor Company back in the early nineties during the EV1 era, when the last electric car revolution started. It has been sold and resold many times over the past ten years. However the current owners and investors are serious about putting electric cars on the road throughout the world. I am excited about their current model, The Th!nk City. It is similar to my 1980 electric Comuta-Car, except completely modernized. The Th!nk City has a one hundred mile range, a top speed over sixty five miles per hour, and space for two adults and two children. You can even buy it as a convertible!
Recently Th!nk announced that they have hired several well known leaders from the automotive and sustainable technology industries to bolster their management team. Additionally, Th!nk disclosed that there are plans to build a factory in Indiana to manufacture the Th!nk City. There is a good chance that this decision was influenced by EnerDel, a battery manufacturer located in Indianapolis, Indiana. EnerDel has a 31% stake in Th!nk and produces the batteries for the Th!nk City. I think Indiana is a great place to have the factory because I go to school at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology which is in Terre Haute, Indiana.
