Th!nk, a Norway-based electric car company, is currently looking for a home for its first US manufacturing facility. Michigan is one of the eight states that the company is looking at; the other seven states were not mentioned in the press release.

“The plant will build the innovative THI!NK city, a sophisticated, high-tech compact electric vehicle recently nominated for England’s prestigious Britt Design Award. The all-electric car can travel up to 112 miles on a single charge. The car is designed, engineered and produced to have the lowest possible carbon footprint with recyclable plastic body panels and a fully recyclable interior. U.S. production is expected to start in 2010, with the first-year volume of 2,500 units being available to pilot and demonstration fleet projects.” (Source: Think)
