About

The Mahindra Electric REVAi Classe is a compact, four-seater electric car that was one of the first of its kind in India. Originally developed by the Maini Group and later acquired by Mahindra, this car boasts a simple yet functional design. It has a power output of 17.4 bhp and comes with automatic transmission. The interior is basic but functional, with features like power steering and a digital display showing various parameters such as speed, mode, and battery power. The car has a designated top speed of 81 kmph, though real-world speeds are typically lower. The rear door provides access to a small storage area, but loading heavy items is not recommended due to the placement of the battery and motor. Overall, it is a car suited for short, urban commutes and those keen on reducing their carbon footprint.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Mahindra Electric REVAi Classe, while pioneering in the electric vehicle segment in India, has several limitations that affect its overall appeal. The cars small size and ease of maneuverability are definite positives, especially in congested urban areas. However, its performance is lackluster, with the car struggling to overtake even autorickshaws in its normal mode, and the power steering being almost non-responsive when the vehicle is stationary. The limited range of about 100 kilometers on a full charge and the lack of charging infrastructure in India further reduce its practicality. Despite these drawbacks, it remains a viable option for those with short commutes and a strong inclination towards eco-friendly transportation.

Price

The Mahindra Electric REVAi Classe is priced between Rs 3.49 lakh to Rs 4.28 lakh ex-showroom in India, depending on the location and any applicable subsidies. For instance, in New Delhi, the ex-showroom price starts at around Rs 3.10 lakh due to government incentives. However, in other cities like Bengaluru, the on-road price can escalate to around Rs 8 lakh, making it less competitive against conventional fuel-powered cars in the same price bracket. This significant price disparity across different regions can be a crucial factor for potential buyers.

Its legacy continues to influence the development of newer electric models, emphasizing the importance of early adopters in the EV market. I think its impact on future EV designs is undeniable.

Wednesday, 18 November 2015 11:28 PM The Mahindra Reva i Classe was part of a broader strategy by Mahindra to promote electric vehicles, including organizing drives to dispel myths about EV practicality.

Its pricing, ranging from Rs. 3.49 lakh to Rs. 4.28 lakh, made it an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers. I think its value for money is one of its strongest selling points.

Mileage

Friday, 22 November 2024 08:05 AM The mileage of the Mahindra Electric REVAi Classe is approximately 65 kilometers per full charge, although real-world usage can vary. Given the rising fuel prices, the operating costs of this electric car are significantly lower compared to petrol or diesel vehicles. However, the limited range and charging time need to be considered, making it more suitable for short, frequent trips rather than long-distance travel.
