Think To Bring Large EV to U.S., Speed City Car Launch

EV-maker Think apparently has moved its anticipated U.S. launch up a bit and plans to add a crossover SUV to its electric vehicle lineup.

The Wall Street Journal finally got around to writing about the Norwegian electric car company's plans, and says Think CEO Jan-Olaf Willums hopes to begin sales of the two-seat Think City car in the U.S. by 2009...

When Think launched its U.S. operation nearly a month ago, company executives were talking about beginning sales here in 2010.

Willums also told the Journal that Think plans to launch a retail version of the five-passenger Ox full-size crossover utility EV that it first showed as a concept at the Geneva auto show in March.

Sales would begin in Europe in late 2010, with U.S. sales to follow at an unspecified time, Willums said.

All we can say is bring it on, please.
