World’s only
crash-tested and highway-certified electric car, the TH!NK city, has
been revealed at 2008 British International Motor Show. The TH!NK
city offers zero emissions, zero CO2, an extremely low cost of
ownership and is 95 percent recyclable!
The two-seater urban car
has a top speed of 105 kilometres per hour and accelerates from zero
to 50 kmph in 6.5 seconds. It requires just an overnight top-up of
electricity and can travel for 203 kilometres in city driving on a
fully charged battery. To charge the batteries from 20 per cent
capacity to 80 percent takes close to four hours.
TH!NK city’s body is
made of recyclable ABS plastic, designed specifically for city
driving. Not only is it ideal for motorists who want to avoid visible
scratches and irritating dents, the unpainted, self-coloured plastic
bodywork also reduces both energy consumption and toxins, while
making the panels easier to recycle. The dashboard can be completely
recycled too. The fabrics, body, supports, air ducts, adhesives and
fixings are designed using the same recyclable materials. The battery
is returned to the supplier at the end of its useable life.
