This car was far ahead for its time. It was never made to be a commercial success. I think it deserves some respect.

[@akarshshekhar5233]

No. It wasn't ahead of its time. It looks terrible, has NO SPACE FOR ANYTHING, no range, no safety, nothing. And on top of that, it cost a staggering 3-4 lakhs on road (back then). Good riddance.

U dont need to complaint abt the build quality, range, and safety... Its made in 2006 where the entry levels like alto and 800 had nothing in the name of safety , power steering and base model had no AC as well....we should proud that, we have invented an electric car in 2001 before Tesla

[@MalluMgtow]

@@Arts11234 the current battery used in the car weighs 270 kg, if we replaced that with lifep04 we can easily get 300km+

[@optionswizard]

The only thing missing in India entrepreneurs is Vision. The company was started in 1994 but what they managed to built was just a toy car with funny look. If they just kept improving it and designed more like a normal car then Reva could have been a top EV in India and instead of Tata we might had been crediting Reva for EV revolution in India

[@vandematram4]

But as he mentioned practically and economically these things are way costlier than normal alto 800 .. They have to change their battery .. And it costs atleast 1.5 lakhs to 2 lakhs .. Why would anyone would spend that much on that kind of car .. Even if they make big cars like sedan or suv .. the range they offer will more less .. What tata did with Nexon ev is good .. (even it's charger is worth 1.5 lakh ) but still not impressive sales numbers.. Tata is also offering cng cars like tigor and Tiago ... Which may be economical as well .. Let's see what can if hydrogen cars can be practical.. as gadkari is promoting them we can see hydrogen cars on road in 5 years .. Untill then enjoy regular diesel / petrol car hassle free .. and if you want to go for fuel economy go for cng or lpg .. Ev are not made for middle class .. And if rich people wants to spend there 30-50 lakhs they will go for fortuner , Innova , jaguar , bmw , Mercedes they wont care about price of petrol .. And i don't think india will open Market for Tesla if they want to manufacture in China ..

[@vandematram4]

Okay correction :- sales numbers of tata ev are good .. but not impressive.. and we can see more companies going for ev .. and still i don't think middle class(India's main consumers) are going for ev yet ..

Hey Faisal, the first electric car was not Reva! It was Lovebird. It was manufactured by Eddy Electric series in 1993. sadly they stopped manufacturing because the car didn't sell in good numbers and the govt. Stopped giving subsidies.

[@FasBeam]

In India?

[@souravchakraborty5588]

[@anishunnithan7896]

Hey Sourav. Dont mind his words. he is a idiot and more of a fun/time pass review. dont be serious dude. Dont be Stupid.

[@rdlawrence82]

@@FasBeam Yes. Manufactured in a place called Eddypuram, in the outskirts of Kochi, Kerala India. The electric car, called Lovebird had a 4 speed manual transmission as well. That's probably the only EV with a MT and a clutch. Also, believe me... India's first hyperloop was also tested there! The founder of the company was a real genius. Unfortunately, he's no more. The ruins of the factory is still there, though...

Eddy electric. Man he literally tried everything from eddy current loads to India's first Switched reluctance motors, electric lifters, trucks but his bad it was located in Kerala which was not so friendly for industry back then. Have had chance to visit the company several times in the late 2000s by that time he was too old. May be he peaked too early
