Reva Electric Car is the highest selling electric car in the world

Not many people know but there is an automaker in India which manufactures a pure electric car named Reva. The company has just managed to create a record of sort.

There are around 700 Reva cars running on the streets of London and this is a record for the highest number of electric vehicles functioning in any city across the world.

The company is expected to deliver more cars to the city and this number would increase to around 1000 units in the next couple of months.

Overall, Reva manufacturers have sold 1800 cars in the markets out which around 1000 have been sold here in India itself.

The company does not get much support from the government which results in a higher price tag on the car but they still manage to sell its standard EV model with DC motor for £7000 in the UK. In India, the car is priced similarly to the Maruti 800/Alto car.

Chetan Kumaar Maini, deputy chairman, RECC spoke about their product: “Even Asian countries have started taking up the encouragement of EVs. For instance, the Japanese government has announced a $2,600 subsidy for the end user for buying a REVA. Similar initiatives are also being taken up by China.”
