The Revai

The Revai is India’s first electric car that was developed by Bangalore based Reva Electric Car Company. It was launched in 2001, in the country’s capital, New Delhi after extensive research conducted for 13 years. The Chief Minister of Delhi, Ms Sheila Dixit described it as a ‘cute car’, stating that she herself used one for traveling short distances and was extremely satisfied with the results. Keeping in mind its energy efficiency and environment friendly nature, the government of Delhi has decided to provide a 15% subsidy on the price of a car that costs nearly 3 lakh rupees and runs a kilometer for just 40 paisa.
