Ease pleaseThe THINK City demands very little of you – in fact no more than an ordinary

mobile phone. Drivability and user-friendliness were key concepts in the

development of the car: the THINK City is easy to drive and park, easy to recharge

and easy to maintain.

Recharge your THINK City overnight and it will be ready for another 160 km the next morning. You can recharge it anywhere using a standard mains outlet. It requires very little maintenance, because electric engines do not have many moving parts that require servicing. This means low maintenance costs and less hassle for you.The THINK City is a spacious two-seater which

is easy to park and handle in a busy urban environment. It accelerates quickly, which makes it ideal for the constant stop and go of city driving. Its fast acceleration also makes the THINK City a fun car to drive. The THINK City gives you less to worry about than other cars: it is made to be driven.

Clean MachineThe THINK City produces no local emissions, which will make your neighbourhood a cleaner, better place to live. In a global perspective, the THINK City reduces CO2 emissions and will, through the use of renewable energy sources, result in zero emissions of climate gases.

THINK City:

80%

A THINK City utilises 80% of the energy supplied to drive the car forward. It is therefore 4 times more energy efficient than a car with an internal combustion engine.

Regular car:

15-20%

A car with a normal internal combustion engine utilises approximately 15-20% of the consumed fuel’s energy to drive the car forward. The remaining 80-85% is lost as friction and heat.
