The world's only crash-tested and highway certificated electric car has been unveiled at the British Motor show.

The two-seater urban car, designed by the Norwegian electric vehicle pioneers Think, requires an overnight top-up of electricity and can travel for 126 miles in city driving on a fully charged battery - which will sure car insurance customers thousands on fuel.

Richard Blundell, managing director of Think UK, said: "Unlike the lower-range, electric quadric-cycles that have had limited success in the UK, the TH!NK city is a real car which provides a realistic option for those motorists who want to drive a true zero emissions car."
