INDIANAPOLIS (March 31, 2010) – THINK, the world’s leading dedicated electric
vehicle maker, has partnered with Indianapolis-based Energy Systems Network
(ESN) to offer the THINK City electric car to qualifying fleets in Indiana for
as low as $19,995. This special pricing is being offered as a part of
ESN’s successful Project Plug-IN program.
The Project Plug-IN program pricing is
available to any commercial or government fleet in Indiana within 100 miles of
Indianapolis or Elkhart, Ind. Fleets that are interested in purchasing
electric THINK City cars should contact THINK Regional Sales Manager Tim Hylen
at (810) 875-4214 or tim.hylen@thinkev.com.
Built
in Elkhart, the 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.
“THINK City is easy to
drive, park and recharge, and it’s also inexpensive to fuel and maintain,” said
Hylen. “It
only costs about 2-3 cents a mile – or less than the cost of a gallon of gas – to recharge
the THINK City’s 100-mile range battery pack.”
ESN and its partners initiated
Project Plug-IN to accelerate the deployment of plug-in electric vehicles (EVs)
and related smart grid technology. The project aims to develop, deploy,
demonstrate, market and evaluate a range of plug-in
vehicles powered by an integrated charging infrastructure located in homes,
businesses and parking facilities to enhance economic development and energy
security in Indiana and beyond.
The discounted price of $19,995 is
based on the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $36,495 after the
$9,000 (net) Project Plug-IN rebate and the $7,500 Federal Tax Credit. Tax,
title, and license are not included.
THINK plans to roll out retail distribution in Indianapolis in the
second half of 2011.
