Our take on this /// Verdict

The Maini Reva Standard AC, although an innovative step in the electric vehicle segment, has its share of limitations. From my perspective, this car is ideal for those with a strong environmental conscience and a need for a short-range, urban commute vehicle. The Reva Standard AC lacks the power and performance of conventional cars, taking 7.54 seconds to reach 40 kmh and 20.91 seconds to hit 60 kmh. However, its instant torque and regenerative braking system are notable features. The ride quality, while improved from its predecessor, still falls short of what youd expect from a conventional car. Despite these drawbacks, the low running costs and eco-friendly nature make it a compelling choice for specific needs.

Price

The Maini Reva Standard AC is priced at around Rs. 3.74 lakh ex-showroom in India. When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other charges, the price can go up to approximately Rs. 4.20 lakh. This pricing is relatively competitive in the electric vehicle segment, especially considering the low operating costs. However, its crucial to weigh this against the limited range and performance capabilities. For those who prioritize environmental sustainability and have a budget constraint, this price point is reasonable, but for others seeking more robust features, it might not be the best value.

Latest Updates

Monday, 28 January 2013 06:26 PM The Maini Reva Standard AC, an upgraded version of the Reva electric car, was planned to be launched by September-October 2002. This new version would include air conditioning, a feature that was not available in the original model. The company expected the AC version to be priced around Rs 30,000 more than the original car, which was priced between Rs 2.5 lakh and Rs 2.7 lakh. I think this addition could significantly boost sales, especially in warmer climates.

Monday, 28 January 2013 09:46 PM Reva Electric Car Company announced that it would start taking bookings for the AC version of the Reva car soon. The company was also working on increasing its production capacity from 2,000 cars a year to 6,000 cars a year, with plans to expand to 12,000 cars by 2004. This expansion was part of their strategy to increase sales and meet growing demand. I believe this strategic move could help them capture a larger market share.

Monday, 28 January 2013 11:52 PM The Maini Reva Standard AC was part of the companys broader plan to launch the car in 25 cities by the end of the year. At the time, the car was available in only a few cities, including Bangalore, Delhi, Jodhpur, Chennai, Surat, and Goa. The company aimed to sell at least 200 cars every month and reach a target of 1,500 cars by the end of the fiscal year. I think expanding distribution channels was a crucial step for their growth.

Monday, 28 January 2013 08:45 AM Reva Electric Car Company had also launched a classic model of the vehicle, known as the Reva Classe, which included additional features such as swanky accessories, soft-touch interiors, a Kenwood stereo system, and an advanced security system. This move was intended to attract more customers with a premium offering. I believe these features made the car more appealing to a wider audience.

Mileage

Friday, 22 November 2024 05:10 PM The mileage of the Maini Reva Standard AC is a significant factor to consider. With a full charge, the car can cover around 80 km under ideal conditions, extending up to 100 km in the economical E-mode. This range is sufficient for short urban commutes but may not be adequate for longer trips. The running cost is exceptionally low, with a full charge costing about Rs. 31.50, translating to approximately 60 paise per kilometer. This makes it an attractive option for those concerned about fuel expenses.
