As we all know, the only electric car that is tooting around in India is the Maini REVAi. I have always wanted more options and now my wait seems to be over. I keep up with car news as a hobby and stumbled upon news about some other electric car being brought out by some unknown company called Bavina in Chennai.
But before you become cynical about what the car is going to be like, let me remind you that Maini was just as unknown when it first came out! Apparently, it is going to be a 4-door passenger car with an estimated price tag of Rs 2.5 Lakh, which is way less than the Maini 2-door. The launch is supposed to be in April 2008. This newbie will most probably have the options of an AC, a central locking system, and power windows, all within the estimated price.
If I want to go electric without having to settle for a frog like REVA, then count me in!

Yeh, thanks for your information. Long back I had plans to go for electric car and buy Revai. As I was not impressed with its size and look, I did not go for it and put it on hold. Actually, I am waiting to buy electric car. If the new car from Bavina is better than Revai, I will go for it.
I do not think REVA is a frog. I think it is a perfect car for cities in India which is clogging with traffic.
I think Reva is just futuristic and will not be appreciated by People like Pai now. Thanks for Reva, Bangalore is a little cleaner. I believe it keeps tugging at the conscience of people travelling in gas guzzlers.
I think Reva is being criticised because it came in first and that it is small Indian entity. I have seen one seater and two seater cars being hyped in Japan and Korea. Nobody laughs at such cars there.
I believe Reva will receive its due, when the right time comes.
