Now this is what we call a clever city car - the Think City four-seater electric vehicle from Norway will soon be available across the European car market, as we go ever greener here. Smart may have pioneered the intelligent city car sector but there have been plenty of improvements from other quarters in the meantime and this is one of them.
The Think City was originally a two-seater model, but it has expanded to four seats. Although the three point seatbelts in the back mean that you lose boot space, the rear seat can be folded down to create a boot space equal to that of the two-seater model. It sounds more versatile than most electric city cars on the market, which are limited even in their urban use by their limited size for carrying things other than passengers.
The Think City is driven by lithium ion batteries with a range of 160 to 180 km. Top speed is 105 km/hr. The company offers the vehicle with a five-year or 100,000 km guarantee. Pricing for European availability hasn’t been announced yet.
