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.
At the 2008 Geneva motor show, Think announced that the THINK 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 THINK 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.
The THINK City is currently on sale in Norway, Austria, the Netherlands and Switzerland. The list price for the car in Norway is NOK 244,000 before optional features, which is approximately $38,000 US, or £25,400 UK, or €30,700. This price is valid only in Norway.
The car has an inbuilt charger and will re-charge from a standard 230 volt, 10 or 16amp supply in 9.5-10 hours.
