Electric Vehicles Debut

The car maker chose the Helsinki Electric Motor Show, last month to introduce the new car. Think has been producing EVs since 1991 and the Think City is the world's first urban battery electric vehicle. It is available for sale now in some European countries.

According to Think CEO Richard Canny. "the Think City is a very safe vehicle to drive both in cities and on highways. It is the first electric vehicle to be awarded a pan European homologation certificate. To become the first EV to meet these exacting standards, the Think City has been through extensive testing and validation, including hundreds of computer simulations and correlations, over 50 sled tests and more than 20 full vehicle crash tests."
