Mahindra and Mahindra the automobile giant of India has now taken the decision to buy stake in an electric car company: Reva (which has its origins in Bangalore India). And it has done it for the right reason.
Reva is an electric car which is designed for the commuting person. If you think that buying an electric car is not worth the thrill it provides, think again. I myself thought that the Reva car would not have much to give to its interested audience, but I found my opinion to be completely wrong when I took a look at the engine specifications of this special car.
There are three versions of Reva: Reva standard, Reva AC and Reva Classe. And the specification goes as follows:
• Reva is a small and compact car which is ideal for commuting if you live in cities.
• It take nearly 6-8 hours to charge its battery completely (you may charge it when you are sleeping).
• Once fully charged the Mahindra Reva car will run for 70-80 kms. This signifies a good mileage rating for a car used for commuting purposes.
• You literally shell out 0.50 rupees for every kilometer traveled with the Mahindra Reva car.
• The rear seats are fold-able. This will give you much space for keeping extra luggage into the car.
• The car is said to have only two seats. A Reva car with four seats is yet to be released in the Indian market. The seats are reported to be comfortable for long drives.
• Safety precautions have been taken by the Reva team to avoid serious injuries to the passengers in case any accident occurs.
• The passengers will have a high seating position which will make the drive comfortable. An adjustable head rest cushion will also add to the comfort of the Reva drive.
• The Reva car has neither any clutches nor any gears.
• 110% pollution free.
• A scratch proof paint.
• A good radio to keep you entertained all way long to your office.
• The headlights of Reva just steal the show when you look at it for the first time. They are also designed to give you a much more better illumination.
• The top speed of this vehicle is around 60-70 kmph.
I personally liked the looks of this car and I think that it is here to stay in the market. Mahindra on the other hand is also designing a small truck that which is also going to run on electricity. Rumors also state that the Reva cars will also be sold in USA for the first time by the two companies. Mahindra has acquired nearly 52.22% of the Reva Electric car company. This eco-friendly car might be available at a price as low as Rupees 2-3 lakhs. Reva is selling its cars in nearly 26 countries and has managed to sell nearly 3500 vehicles so far. Hope that people will open their eyes to this beautiful eco-friendly car and change their minds to buy one of these instead of buying the flashing and “Harsh on the environment” Sports Cars.
