THINK City is a 100 percent electric, zero emission modern city car designed for urban commuters and fleet customers that want to make a bold statement about protecting the environment and reducing dependency on imported oil.

Powered by an advanced Lithium-ion battery and electric motor, THINK City is four times more energy efficient than a conventional vehicle and creates fewer greenhouse gas emissions in any operating scenario.

Project Plug-IN is an industry-led, commercial-scale pilot of plug-in electric vehicles and smart grid technology working together to demonstrate an energy efficient transportation solution for the Indiana area. ESN and its partners initiated Project Plug-IN to accelerate the development and implementation of a plug-in electric vehicle “ecosystem,” to enhance economic development and energy security.

We hope you’ll join us.
