Electric cars do cost more than any other type - whether this is here in the USA or anywhere else. The original Reva was not really a car - it was classified as a quadricycle. A big difference, if you follow . . .mehulkamdarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210416730465039593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8725048551167635627.post-60438752132544126502009-09-21T05:09:06.694-05:002009-09-21T05:09:06.694-05:00I read about the new Reva in some major dailies al...I read about the new Reva in some major dailies also.It does look far better than the older version.It is supposed to give a range of 160km on a single battery charge.Now if they could only bring the cost down they would have a winner on their hands.When the Reva was first launched their idea was to price it between 1 and 1.25 lakhs.If they had stuck to that pricing there would have been more people using it.But all of a sudden it was 3+ lakhs and this at a time when a standard Maruti800 AC was selling for less than 2 lakhs.Mohanakrishnan Bhttp://www.mohanakrishnanb.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
