Think of Norway and you don’t immediately associate it with cars. Oh dear no.
People who keep pet cod, yes, hugely expensive trips not to see the northern lights, yes. But cars? What up a fiord without a paddle? I don’t think so.
Ah ha! But think again. In fact no, TH!NK again, as in the Norwegian electric car company that will launch an all electric vehicle, the TH!NK city later this year.
The two seater urban car has a top speed of 65 miles per hour. It accelerates from zero to 30 mph in just 6.5 seconds and 50 mph in 16seconds. It requires just an overnight top-up of electricity and can travel for 124 miles on a fully charged battery. A full charge from a domestic electricity socket takes ten hours. Over 10,000 miles use, the total cost of electricity used to power a TH!NK city will be £125-ish.
The TH!NK city is made of plastic and has a lot of electric equipment. Well it would, wouldn’t it?
All very exciting and worthy. But I won’t be testing one as long as every time I want to identify it I have to type TH!NK. You should have thought of that, Mr Halibut catcher.
Here's one they made earlier
