| Think to sell electric car in New York Pioneering electric car company Think announced plans to begin selling the Think City, one of the world's first highway-capable electric vehicles (EVs), in New York and other select cities later this year. Think and the U.S. Department of Energy's local Clean Cities chapter are working together to bring the Think City electric vehicle to customers in New York. Today, New York City officials and several New York fleet operators had a chance to test drive the zero-emissions electric car at a drive event on Pier 7 in Brooklyn. The sophisticated lithium-ion battery system that gives the car its range and reliability is made in the U.S. by New York's own Ener1, Inc., one of the city's leading clean technology companies. New York was tied with Chicago in the EV Ready-City Index released by Think in January. Think developed the index to measure which markets are most likely to begin and benefit from the transition to electric vehicles. New Yorkers can see the Think City in the EV Pavilion at the New York International Auto Show at the Javits Center April 2-11. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Exhibition News :: home page |
