REVA is the first and only Electric Car Company to sell electric cars in India. I am strong believer in electrics and hybrids. I believe that with diminishing supply of petroleum and awareness towards environment, electric cars make a perfect sense. Especially if the cars are charged using electricity produced from Solar, Wind or Hydro Power.
India has been a price sensitive economy for decades and Indian consumers want value for money in their cars, so electric cars make even more sense because they have cheaper running cost. The biggest reason for electric cars to lag behind is probably the battery technology which needs to improve, charging time (which can be a few hours) and the range (which is typically up to 200 KMs), which restrict them to in the city usage only.
