Bavina Cars

Bavina - the electric car is designed and manufactured in Tamil Nadu, with the novel idea of saving environment due to pollution caused by fuelled cars and also save fuel. The auto maker has named the new venture as Bavina Cars India Ltd (BCIL). It is one of the indigenously built cars in India and will be in competition with Reva.  Currently Reva is exported to 50 countries. Bavina is a hatchback with four door, four seat and plug in type hybrid electric car. For Indian markets it is designed with lead acid batteries.

Bavina has a Technical partner name Velozzi SpA Inc from USA. The electric car is expected to run at a maximum speed of 100 Km/Hr with 2 hour charge time. It has Air conditioning, power windows, central locking and six pack batteries. Currently it can be charged upto 500 times. The car can run upto 100 km with AC and 20 km without AC on a maximum. However market analysts believe that the move and motivation is novel, it needs Government subsidies to deploy more electric charging stations, so that people can consider buying electrically charged vehicles.
