Th!nk to bring electric car to U.S.

I want one.

I would happily drive one too!

Awesome! I would totally buy one!

What a perfectly cute town car. I hope everyone loves them. Might spur our automakers to revive the electric car. There is hope for the environment after all.

We will certainly buy one!

When are they gonna make one for under $2,000?

I have seen these cars in Norway they are amazing...

these cars are tiny & ugly. gm's fully electric cars from the early 90's were bigger, cheaper, & looked cooler. the real shame in the automobile industry & the u.s. consumers is that they're eating up these hybrid cars like they don't use gas.

electric car technology has been available for decades & keeping the gasoline fueled status quo machines on the road is not a solution 2 anything!

all u drivers out there need 2 demand stylish, high quality electric vehicles right now!!! don't stop til u get hydrogen powered hummers & plugin escalades

It sounds great, in theory. But doesn't the US gov't regulate all electric cars to cap their speed at 25 mph? Sounds like a pocket full of bullshit to me (that government, that is)!

No, GM had great electric cars they leased out to people. They drove them everywhere just like a gasoline car. The people that had them loved them. They caved to big oil and recalled and smashed them. Time to make them bring them back.

hydrogen powered hummers? I still wouldn't be able to park in San Francisco. I need a small car just like this one.

They have my money already! BRING IT!!!!

i love my car and will keep it. i wanna go fast, i want it to look good, perform and have longevity. which mine does. i don't care to trade it in for a car that looks like could be squashed by a motorcycle.

i love the american way

diode is a good example of why we need government regulation. I want I want I want.

bring em on!!!

I want this! Not oil, not biofuels. I want something which can be powered by the sun. I want energy freedom.

Remember the GM Saturn electric car, EV-1.
Sigh, its been nice meeting you Th!ink.

then again, thats a steep price. how about nev's insteard.

For the last decade or so Ford has been on a massive campaign to bring the auto to China, probably not just Ford, but they've been successful, and a nation that once rode bikes is now the blessed recipient of cars all over its city streets, a growing consumer of oil products, and to top it off, their infrastructure is not built to accommodate this influx of vehicles. This is irresponsible behavior...and really very typical of the sort of thing global corporations have been guilty of for a long, long time.

There was the whole scandal over telling mothers in third world countries to stop nursing their babies and put them on formula...that was a similar disaster.

So now we have all of these electric cars coming in to the US, but whose paying attention to what Ford and the rest of the auto manufacturers are doing in the rest of the world? Not our government. We need some way to make corporations more accountable, because this influx of autos to China, in the name of the almighty profit margin, has had more to do with rising oil prices than anyone is talking about.

This is very cool, but that price is insane.

Here in San Francisco, lots of people have those Smartcar Fortwo's -- which are ultra tiny, but actually don't get phenomenal gas mileage. Plus you have to wait for them for like 6 months. Screw that.

I think I'm going to buy a Toyota Yaris, since they are only like 10,5 and are larger and more fuel efficient. But an electric future (and better, hopefully privatized, public transportation) is an exciting and necessary thing, I think.

Please, any electric car would be nice. My father lives in the country seven miles from town. An electric car that has a range of 100 miles is more than enough for his needs, what with getting to the supermarket and his Pinnacle game at the senior center. He puts about 20 miles a day. Gas is a fortune compared to the pennies on the dollar it will cost to run electric compared to gasoline.

Think City owners please submit a YouTube video of your eyes the first time you hear the price of a replacement for your worn-out battery pack. Also some audio of the gasp would be a nice, professional touch.

My personal objection would be what might happen if a little bitty car like this one becomes the main ingrediant in an eighteen-wheeler sandwich and I'm the mayonnaise. Will anyone hazard a guess what the Think City's IIHS crash ratings will be?

A friend of mine in Norway has a Th!nk. He drives it as his primary vehicle. His wife is handicapped and has a car that has been specialized for her needs, so, he can't drive her car.

He has had his Th!nk for at least 5 years. He is a big guy and he says it is pretty funny to see him in this tiny car, especially when he loads it up with all kinds of sporting gear or housing remodeling supplies.

In the winter, when the temperature drops very low, he has a problem with the battery holding a charge. Sometimes when he would be driving home from work, even though he charged the battery while he was at work, the car would not be able to make it up the last hill to his house. He would often have to wait for someone to come by and help him push the car up to the top of the hill so he could use the decent to charge the battery just enough to get home.

Overall, I think giving consumers more options, driving competition, and pushing boundaries is good for all.

where does everyone think the electricity is coming from....it's not wind powered. Let's getting everyone charging their car batteries for the new electric cars and gear up for the next shortage and escalating prices.

by the time people have these cars in large numbers the energy/electricity will be coming from wind/solar combinations. Also, the price of the new battery storage will not be so eye popping. Like anything we humans come up with the first ideas out of the gate have problems and can be better. Here we are watching the birth of a new industrial global economy that can take us off of fossil fuels and create a whole wealth of new jobs. In todays world these parts don't yet fit together perfectly but they will.

besides the other things that i touched on in my initial comment the explosion of making everything under the sun out of corn is a serious problem as well.

biodegradable "plastic" bottles, shopping bags, & other containers are everywhere, especially in the trendy & allegedly eco-friendly stores that i'm sure many current-consumers frequent.

the lesson is that quick fixes are not always the best solution, even in the short term. be thoughtful with your decisions whenever possible.

Just buy a Harley!!

I actually saw on here...."Awesome, I would totally buy one!"...........Whoa!!

Where is the dissenting view for ............."T.V."?

As good as electric cars sound, you have to remember where their power comes from. Being that going green is a recent turn, most power still comes from coal and nuclear power plants, which are major pollutants.
Seeing these cars marketed toward Californians makes me wonder, in the summer there's already rolling blackouts because of the strain on the grid, if thousands of these cars are bought and used, how much more of a strain will that put on the grid.
There has to be other alternative energy cars, I'm just not sure if electric is the way until renewable energy sources become the norm.
