Green Wombat’s feature story on Norwegian electric car company Think appears in the August issue of Business 2.0 and is available online. A startup acquired by Ford (F) in 1999 and now owned by a group of Norwegian entrepreneurs backed by Silicon Valley and European investors, Think is revving up the production line for its zippy two-seater City coupe. (Alas, the convertible City on the Business 2.0 cover is a prototype.) The company, which has attracted the attention of everyone from Google (GOOG) and Tesla Motors to inventor Dean Kamen and PG&E (PCG), will begin selling cars in Europe in 2008 and hopes to bring the Think to selected U.S. markets in 2009. Like Tesla, Think is attempting to upend a century-old automotive business model as it rolls out the first highway-ready production electric car since General Motors (GM) scrapped the EV1 in 2003. Over the next few days, Green Wombat will feature bonus material that didn’t make it into the Think story.

What about Zaap, they have electric cars
I just meant an old colleage this afternoon who is now working for a company called Miles Electric Vehichles out of Santa Monica. It seem that in the next few years lots of emerging companies plan on reintroducing the electric car. It will be an intresting time with lots of keen ideas and oppotunities for sales reps such as myself.
Fully electric cars could become a reality if the battery prices can be lowered through mass production and innovation. Currently, the battery produced by Zebra for the Think City EV car costs over $34,000 which is prompting the car maker to lease the battery on a per month basis.
Hydrogen Electric Car
ZAP will be introducing a new solar electric car at the San Francisco. BM
