Nice that our group is considered a reliable source. I am also pleased to hear that a 70mph+ powertrain may be available as that will be good in the UK, too....
The 'pandering' by providing a 70+ mph powertrain worries me somewhat... Before driving EVs (I now drive exclusively Peugeot/Citroen EVs from my fleet) I was...
Can anyone with knowledge of EVS in Norway provide some contrast of this Elbil Norge "Buddy" to the EVs which Think Global AS claims they want to put into mass...
You may be right that there is some pandering to this, but I suspect it's also a contextual safety issue. In some areas in the US, it may be legal to take a...
The 62 mph top speed was a defined target in Norway, as 62 mph = 100 kph. Norwegian speed limits are lower than those in the U.S.as well. In America most urban...
You might want to Google the name "Kewet", as this was the old Danish name for the vehicle. The "Buddy" is the most recent addition. Before the crash of '08,...
For more than a decade now my posture has been, as a fan of these foreign EV companies, that I quite like it when they make a considered decision not to come...
There were an amazing array of production-ready hybrid and battery-electric at each of the most recent motor shows in America and Europe. All talking about...
This is indeed good news. It had been previously noted that the US car companies were coming up with a slightly different coupling system to that agreed...
Very interesting to see RWE, a very large (German I think) electric utility type organization, involved like this. It reminds me a bit of the involvement of...
Th!nk announced a memorandum of understanding was reached with Spain for additional Citys at EVS 24. This follows a similar agreement with the Dutch, both...
Th!nk is on the ropes in Norway's courts. http://electricaid.ning.com/profiles/blogs/think-has-until-monday-to-come "By law, a debt consolidation process like...
Maybe there is a lesson here for nearby nearly-bankrupt Think Global AS: http://www.reuters.com/article/americasMergersNews/idUSLD31626420090613 ... [...] ... ...
... Good News! http://electricaid.ning.com/profiles/blog/list "The Norwegian news wires is bombarded today with the news of Think getting $40-50 million...
That whole thing was never important to me. A total red herring, I thought. The important thing to me was that Think Global reportedly got the full financing...
The problem for Th!nk, and the other start-ups as well, is production. Th!nk was talking about 5,000 units per year from Aurskog, but was never able to show an...
Good one. It looks like the Norwegian version of the website is substantially different from the English version (though at first glance they look the same. ...
There are no sales tax, car tax or import tax on EVs in Norway. I think the price will not mirror an estimated price abroad if one just divide the NOK price...
