Electric car company Think plans to begin selling the Think City, a highway-capable electric vehicle, in New York and other select cities later this year. The company says it and the U.S. Department of Energy's local Clean Cities chapter are "working together to bring the Think City electric vehicle to customers in New York."

"New York is a logical early market for the Think City in the U.S.," said CEO Richard Canny. "New York ranked third on our EV-Ready Cities Index based on the great fit of EVs for city driving and the strength of state and local government support."

The company says the car is in production in Finland and sold in select European markets. The company plans to begin manufacturing the car in one-time industrial boomtown Elkhart, Ind., starting next year.--Karl Greenberg
