Default Th!nk "Spy" photos

So I was out walking here in Hopkinton, MA and guess what I found parked outside A123 Systems parking lot? A brand new Th!nk with Norwegian plates. Its parkef just next to the their plug-in hybrid's test mule....

Makes my mouth water! I think the reason the th!nk is so high of the ground it because it was delivered "empty" from Norway....

I'm trying to setup a guided tour of their facility... So maybe just maybe I can find out more.

The first picture show their A123 system plug-in test mule.... I would love to take that one for a spin!

To find out more about this EV go to http://www.think.no/

My wife and I have been talking and we're considering getting two Think EVs for commuting and an old beat up Volvo Station Wagon as a "family mobile". That and the solar panels we will have installed would put a serious dent in our carbon dependency!

It's actually cuter in real life... but yeah the design is perhaps not the selling feature of this car.

I have no doubt you are the future. Along with wind.

Thanks for the pictures. I'm pretty sure our next car is going to be an electric micro-car too.

Holy cow!

The headlights are bigger than the wheels.

If I had one, I'd call it Betty Boop.

Boop, boopy doop!

Chevy Volt will use batteries from the same manufacturer (a123) but somehow I don't suspect to see one parked outside anytime soon...

The car looks a little like a cross between a mini and a smart car (crossed with a golf cart). It's a little plasticy but still cool looking to me. I like the turn signals on the side of the car.

The car as I understand it was developed when Ford owned them and the steering wheel etc looks taken from a Ford Focus.

The one thing I couldn't see in this car was AC... and there are all analog meters inside. I was hoping it would provide more feedback on battery left etc.

Still this is one of the electric cars I actually believe will be sold here shortly and it meets my minimum reqs
