100km/h. sold this spring, initially in Norway, and followed by

EUR 200 per month, covering full service battery use, car
insurance and electricity use.

Mobilität"

TH!NK city demands very little of you. In fact, not much more than a mobile phone. Just an overnight power top-up, and it’s ready to go in the morning.
TH!NK city is a modern urban car. With zero local emissions and an energy efficiency three times that of a traditional combustion engine car, it is a car
for the environment. And it is a fun car for you. A choice of sodium or lithium batteries allows you to accommodate your car to your driving style, travelling
up to 180 kilometres* in one charge, with a top speed of 100km/h. Driving a silent car will give you a totally new experience.
