Top 20 green cars we wish we could buy today, Number 8: Th!nk Ox
click the Th!nk Ox for a high res gallery
Th!nk's Ox is a five-seat monocab design that has a space frame structure that can be used for a variety of different body styles. Besides the four-door body, Th!nk is also showing a two-door coupe body. The space frame provides the crash structure and mounting locations for battery packs in the floor. The 60kW electric motor should be able to accelerate the 3,300lb Ox to 62mph in about 8.5 seconds. Th!nk is claiming that with lithium batteries the Ox will have a range of about 120 miles. With specifications like that, the Ox is a car that could replace the gasoline vehicles that the majority of the population drives everyday ... in other words, it's a game-changer.

I'm ready to buy NOW! This is the best looking, most realistic EV option I've seen. Essentially I wouldn't have to change any of my daily habits to switch from a gas vehicle to this Th!nk Ox. Brilliant!

That A-pillar look awfully wide ;
I'm afraid it''l provide very poor visibility from the driver seat.
Also, that massive glass surface will result in extreme heat in the cabin during sunny Californian summer days.
( Yeah, I realize that won't be much of a problem in Norway w. cold and overcast weather for much of the year ).
Nice concept in general, though.
