The “Think City” and the “Ranger EV” are fully electric, zero emission vehicles that are being leased from the Ford Motor Company. It’s part of a two-year trial to see how electric vehicles can be integrated into the City’s existing, conventionally-powered fleet.
The “Think City” is a dramatically designed two-seater that uses nickel cadmium batteries for power, and can travel up to 60 km per charge, at speeds up to 90 km/h. It’s built of recyclable plastics and materials.
The “Ranger EV” looks like, and is built much like, a conventional pickup truck, except that it’s powered by lead acid batteries. It can travel up to 70km on a single charge, with a top speed of over 100 km/h (exact speed and range vary depending on the road conditions and the remaining battery charge).
