Think to Build Electric Cars in Indiana
Norwegian electric car maker Think Global has reportedly chosen Indiana for its North American manufacturing plant.
The report cited Charles Gassenheimer, CEO of lithium-ion battery-maker Ener1 Inc., which has a 31 percent stake in Think.Ener1, which also has a battery supply agreement with Think, took a stake in the carmaker this year after the Norwegian company went looking for money to save itself and exit court protection.
Earlier this year, Think has said it’s looking for a manufacturing facility to fit its needs for a 220,000-to-300,000-square-foot plant. The company had discussions with eight states hoping to host the facility, which will initially employ about 300 workers with a starting capacity of 16,000 cars per year.
