Maini REVAi to see competition
Maini REVAi, the sole electric car in the country so far, is about to see some competition soon. Another Indian company, Bavina Industries plans to launch a four-seat electric car.
This compact car will remind you of the Santro or Matiz at first glance and comes with facilities like air conditioning, power windows, centralised locking and a designer dashboard. Bavina claims that the car can reach a maximum speed of 55 km/hr and can run up to 110 kms with the AC on which is about 50 kms more that what the Revai delivers. Without AC, an additional 20 kms can be achieved. The fully loaded version of Bavina’s electric car will cost around Rs 2.5 lakh.
Initially, the company will roll out 5,000 cars by early 2009. After this, it also plans to run eco-friendly taxis in some of the major cities. Those having a deep concern for environment have one more reason to cheer up.
