Norwegian company Th!nk is hoping to kick become a leader in the market for electric cars with its five-seater, the Ox.
Th!nk Ox is certainly a stylish vehicle and it might be the most functional in a crowded market of up and coming electric car companies.
Due out in 2010/2011, the Ox is about the size of a Toyota Prius and goes from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.5 seconds. On a full charge, the Ox can travel between 125 and 155 miles on its lithium-ion batteries, which can be charged to 80% capacity in less than an hour.

With all of it’s conservation ethic, the car is not without it’s amenities.  Solar panels on its roof power equipment such as the radio, navigation system, instrument panel, and air conditioning.

The Ox is wired in more ways than just being a plug-in electric vehicle: GPS, mobile internet, a customizable digital dashboard, as well as a whole host of other modern features.

The City, Th!nk’s inagural electric vehicle offering is already being sold in Europe for around US $25,000. The company is poised to sell about 10,000 of them there this year.

The City will be available in North America in early 2009.
