Think City approved for sale in California

From All Cars Electric: Think North America, maker of the two-seat City electric car, announced that its 2011 Think City had been approved as a zero-emission vehicle by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

The approval lets Think sell the 2011 City in California and the 12 other states, plus the District of Columbia, that have adopted California's stricter vehicle emissions regulations. The 2011 City uses a lithium-ion battery pack, with cells from Ener1, that gives it a stated range of up to 100 miles, a requirement for the CARB certification. Those states constitute roughly a third of the overall U.S. vehicle market, said Think's Brendan Prebo. He noted that “CARB certification is critical for fleet sales, not just in California, but in the other CARB states as well."
