التاريخ
The company was originally founded in December 1991 in Oslo, as Pivco (for Personal Independent Vehicle Company). The first practical prototype, the PIV2, like the vehicles that followed, were built around a chassis made of aluminium and carrying a body made of polyethylene thermoplastic rotomolded in one piece.عشرة of 15 prototypes were built in time for the Lillehammer Olympic Winter Games in 1994. The battery technology was NiCd, driving a three-phase AC induction motor via the front wheels.

TH!NK city
It is one of only two crash-tested and highway-certified electric cars in the world. The TH!NK city is a small two-seater or 2+2-seater highway capable electric car, with a top speed of 105 كيلومتر في الساعة (65 ميل/س) and an in-town range of 210 kiloمترs (690,000 قدم) on a full charge .
Think originally planned to start deliveries to Norwegian customers in the last quarter of 2007. That target was missed, but as of August 2008, about one hundred vehicles have been completed.
A price list in Norwegian Kroner adds up to NOK 199,000 before optional features, which is approximately $32,500 US, or £16,600 UK, or €24,500. The battery pack will be leased rather than sold to purchasers. The fee will be NKR 975 per month ($160, £81, EUR120). This price is valid only in Norway.
Think CEO Jan-Olaf Willums indicated that the City will sell in the US for $15,000 - $17,000, with a Mobility Fee of $100-$200 per month to lease the batteries that may also include Wireless and Car Insurance.
At the 2008 Geneva motor show, Think announced that the TH!NK City will be launched in Denmark and Sweden in 2008, followed by launching in the UK, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands in 2009.
At the 2008 British International Motor Show at the ExCeL Exhibition Centre, London, Think announced that the TH!NK city will be available to UK customers from the summer of 2009.. Prime Minister Gordon Brown joined Transport Minister Geoff Hoon for a presentation by Managing Director of Think UK .
At the same time, the specifications of the TH!NK city were improved: "The two-seater urban car has a top speed of 65 ميل في الساعة (105 كم/س). It accelerates from 0 to 50 كيلومتر في الساعة (30 ميل/س) in just 6.5 seconds and to 80 كيلومتر في الساعة (50 ميل/س) in 16 seconds. It requires just an overnight top-up of electricity and can travel for 210 kiloمترs (690,000 قدم) in city driving on a fully charged battery".
