Photos: TH!NK electric car on London's streets

We can't wait to take the TH!NK electric car for a spin

Channels: Transport News Tags: electric car, electric vehicle, green electricity

At the launch of ten new charging points for electric vehicles in Central London today, we also had the pleasure of checking out and even sitting in the new TH!NK electric car. The TH!NK, as regular SmartPlaneteers will know, is expected to land in the UK by the end of the year. Check out our photos below.

It feels like sitting in an old-ish Fiat Punto: it's quite high off the ground, has great visibility and is relatively spacious for a small car. We're on the list to review it, and are gagging to give it a spin and see if we can hit its claimed 65mph max speed. How will it fare against the UK's best electric cars? Watch this space.

Aside from being 95 per cent recyclable, the major plus of the TH!NK versus a Punto is, of course, the fact it's powered with electricity rather than petrol. And with charging points now in the boroughs of Islington, Camden, Greenwich, Sutton, Kingston, Kensington and Chelsea, Tower Hamlets, Westminster, Ealing, Southwark and the City it should be almost as easy being an electric TH!NK driver in London as a Punto petrol-head.

Looks good. About on a par with the Mega City I'd say, and certainly better than the G-Wiz!
