    ‘08 Geneva: Think Grows Up With All-Electric Ox Concept

    Written By: Evan McCausland

    "We’ll admit it - we hadn’t heard much about Norwegian EV-maker Think since its quagmire as a Ford-owned brand, but we were somewhat surprised to find the automaker’s presence (albeit in an outdoor tent) at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show. Although the company continues to refine and manufacture the plastic-bodied City electric car, the big news at the show was the premiere of the company’s five-door Ox concept....."

    Yes, it is only a concept. However, TH!NK actually makes production electric vehicles so I think they have an advantage when it comes to taking a concept to production. Well see how it turns out.
