Bangalore based Reva Electric CarCompany (RECC) is gearing up to expand its consumer base by launching two new models within the next couple of years. These include a four-seater, two-door hatchback – known as the NXR, and a sporty two-seater – the NXG. RECC’s Deputy Chairman and Chief Technology Officer, Mr Chetan Maini, said that the first of these cars – the NXR, will be a safe, automatic, easy to drive car, which will be perfect as a family’s second car. It will come with an optional solar panel on top. It will be launched in 24 countries in Asia and Europe in 2010. With a top speed of 104 km/hr, the NXR will be twice as fast as current Reva cars, and will be able to cover 160 km on one charge. The NXG, on the other hand, will be a fun car and will go into production in 2011. It will have a top speed of 130 km/hr and will cover up to 200 km per charge. Mr Maini said that the company is targeting a sales figure of 30,000 units in the next three years.

An electrifying age has really began. Most of the car makers are turning green these days. It will be really nice to have two more cars from REVA. Maini REVA is India’s only electric car company.

Mr. Chetan Maini, It is good to learn the developments that are happening at your end.
We have a design where an Electric car need not stop for any no. of Kms. that it wishes to travel.
Wonder if your company is keen to have this feature incorporated in your existing models and future models.
