The Th!nk City is a Tiny Electric Car from Norway

[@walternyberg]

Thank you for this test! A couple of things! The Sodium battery was not an “earlier” battery, it was the normal battery though the life of the model (in Norway and Europe). And while it is true, that to keep the salt molten, the car has to be plugged in to the mains, it is far from as bad as you make it sound! The battery is very weil isolated and has an internal warming element the will keep the temperature up for many days by using energy from the battery! Upon reaching a low SOC it will run a cooling down/freezing program, to unfreeze an Zebra battery (the name of the battery), takes a couple of days, (haven’t tried that) I have 3 Think City’s at the moment, one running and one that I hope will run eventually, and my first whit’s I keep for parts! My first Thin run for 120 000 Km, then I got a spear car with only 40 000 on the clock but with a death battery! I put battery from my original car into the low kilometer car in where it has now run app. 10 000 km. And the capacity is just the same as it was when I first bought the first car 5 years ago! But it has to be to say that it is time (mostly due to the heat stress of 300 c. for years) that kill then of, knock wood but my battery is fine so fare! :-)

[@agingwheels]

Thank you for the clarification! I had reservations about putting this in the video because it was just something the owner told me while I was filming, but I had to leave it in because it was just too interesting. Now I know the full story!

[@kristenburnout1]

One of the great th!ngs about the Zebra battery was that it doesn't really care about ambient temperature, so winter range is almost the same as summer range. Normal EV's Lithium-ion batteries perform badly in cold weather, and get damaged in too hot weather. However, the Zebra battery is more fragile and can't be fast charged (a huge issue). Thanks for doing a Think, it makes me feel weirdly proud to be Norwegian, watching this automotive flop get some recognition aboad.

Not only have a heard about it.. a friend of my worked at the factory as a logistics paper pusher over a few years The sodium battery should last about 72 hours with out recharging. The thing is. When the car is driven, the batteries freeze up as the batteries get discharged. This is actually how the energy is stored.. So the car is losing a stedy state of range when its not in the charger. This is actually true about all electric cars, but for a modern lithium powered car, we are really talking about years, not days

Great Video! I live in Elkhart, In. and I have been an electric car Enthusiast for many years. The first Electric car I ever drove/ worked on was the Commuta Car. My career experience is in Electronics, so when I heard that Think was coming to Elkhart, I had visions of working for the company. I was delivering pizza at the time and saw how the Think would be valuable to deliver pizza. I got ahold of a representative of the company ( who drove down from Detroit, I found out later)for a test drive. I got to drive the car around Elkhart. I mentioned what I wanted to use it for and the Rep somehow thought I wanted buy a fleet of them for the pizza company. I repeated multiple times in the original call that I wanted to test ONE for my own use. So as the test drive ended, the rep seriously wanted to know how many I wanted to buy, when I said I was only interested in one, I got the distinct impression he was under the impression I would buy quantity.... I got a tour of the "Factory " and saw maybe 20 vehicles in process.. I found out this factoid.. the car was about 90% built in Norway, and shipped to Elkhart for the tail light system to be installed and a few other things put on the car to make it U.S. road legal. I was told that the tail lights were different in Norway and that it would NOT meet U.S. auto standards as is from Norway.. So Elkhart was more of a staging facility than an actual 'from-raw-materials-to-complete -car' factory I thought it was. I very much enjoyed the drive and got more enthused about E-Drive vehicles. Think did not have any lease program in force, so purchase was only option, so sticker price was definitely a non-starter... after the tour, I realized that a career there for me was essentially nonexistent. As a side note, the next town east , Mishawaka, Is the home of a Chinese Electric car company that is re-tooling the former H2 Hummer plant for U.S. Sales... I know next to nothing about this company, but am keeping eyes and ears open to what they can produce there..

[@aihal4]

Nope, the only reason people buy them is because the goverment subsidies the car with around 50000$ Its a car for snobs and people who like beeing watched, I've never personally met anyone who bougth it to save the environment. Plus, some of the hydroelectric power are sold out of the country so basicly they run on coal and nuclear made power from time to time :p Also electric cars does go through toll booths for free, also free parking.

Indeed it is, but its not particulary environment friendly if the power comes from coal. For a city situation I completely understand buying an electric car. But as soon as you have to pay the full price for a tesla, and pay for parking and toll booths. Nobody will buy an electric car anymore :p

I remember these. Looks like this new model has come a long way compared to the ones 20 years ago. My father had one around the year 2000. Was more at a workshop getting fixed than on the road. The final trip with the car resulted in a broken drive shaft because it couldn't handle the immense power from the 25 HP motor in his model. He told the dealer which ditch it was stuck in and that he didn't want to see it again. Oh, and the user manual literally said to not use the heater in the winter (if you had the electric one), which is why many had diesel heaters. Norway also have strict regulations regarding swapping battery packs for other types, forcing you to use the same type as the old one.
