Energy efficiency

When comparing the electrical engine with a traditional combustion engine, the difference in energy use efficiency is striking; whilst an electrical engine uses 85-90% of energy to run the car, the combustion engine utilises only 20-25%. Most of the energy provided from petrol, diesel or even bio fuels disappears as heat.

Holistic engineering

Our vehicles are designed for the environment, throughout the entire value chain. Our production facilities are carbon neutral, with very low emissions from our production processes and minimal material wastes. TH!NK city has a clean choice of materials, with recyclable exterior and interior materials made possible through the use of ABS and PP. Bodywork and plastic panels are unpainted, reducing both pollutants and energy consumption.

Sustainable future

The market for green energy is increasing, and governments across the world are improving the regulatory framework for expanding renewable energy production. In many countries, you can already buy guaranteed pure, renewable energy. Purchasing green energy truly reduces the electric vehicle emissions to zero. In 2008, Think will compensate your CO2 emissions from the electricity production in your country by purchasing CO2 quotas.

Green policies

National and local authorities are increasingly promoting low and zero emission vehicles, making them cheaper and more convenient to drive. In London, electrical vehicles are exempted from the congestion charge. In Italy, access to certain city centres is restricted for combustion engines but open to zero emission cars. In Norway, electric vehicles can use the public transport lane, drive through all toll booths free of charge, and enjoy free public parking. Contact your local authorities and see what incentives they are offering to help make your city cleaner.
