Think starting production for real

Cobos · 06-29-2008, 07:56 AM

It seems my earlier estimate from Think of August was wrong. They've started production now and the first customers are getting their cars. They are part of the unofficial founders series and VIPs etc. but they are delivering production cars. The first 100 cars will be delivered during July. Currently they are at 3-5 cars a day but they expect to be upto the 2 full shifts capacity of 20 cars a day first half of next year. And considering the state of fuel prices in the US and current dollar value they might build a factory in the US before that (my speculation).

Good news.

I love the idea that you can text your Think to find out the state of charge! Very handy

I would count this as a major announcement coming from any auto maker. A nice feather in the cap for Think.

Quote:

“THINK and AeroVironment are setting a new standard for extremely quick re-charging – zero to 80 percent in just 15 minutes,” said THINK CEO Richard Canny. “This is a major leap forward for electric vehicles. The development and deployment of very-fast-charge stations will help speed the electrification of automobiles in the United States and globally.”

This could equally go under an AV thread.
