Clean, quiet, and relatively profitable to produce, electric vehicles have had a rough start in the U.S. Five years after General Motors (GM) nixed its innovative EV1 electric car program, just a handful of automakers have committed to making and selling electric vehicles on a mass scale any time soon.

Enter Think Global, a Norwegian upstart plotting a U.S. invasion via pint-size, affordable electric cars. Think has been selling gas-free, Lilliputian city cars in Europe and will start peddling them to fuel-crunched Americans in 2009. The company's newly formed North American division has high hopes for Think's existing models—and even higher ones for the upcoming Th!nk Ox, a concept unveiled at the Geneva International Motor Show earlier this year.

That would be sweet for me because I lived in an All Bills Paid apartment I could just plug into the Apt power and free gas :) Of course people would probably wonder about the extra long power cord going from my car to my apartment.

*sigh*

Electric cars still aren't that reasonable, because you can't take them long distances, because you may not find somewhere to charge them. There aren't enough electric car charging stations built yet to justify buying one...

>>At least I'm traveling in my backyard.

At least your spamming is getting more and more annoying. :thdown:

>>because you can't take them long distances, because you may not find somewhere to charge them.

Maybe you can have back-up batteries. :)

What if someone purposefully unplugs it everyday. I mean, I know I would if I new the owner's face. Just look around for you, unplug, and walk on. :D

"Yeah, sorry. I'd love to take you to Las Vegas with us, but that last seat is reserved for our backup batteries."
