The Electric car E2O is the first product that has been assembled at the company's newly started eco-friendly facility based out of Bangalore. The vehicle derives it power from a 48-Volt, 29kW electric motor that belts out a maximum of 39.4bhp, promising to return an impressive fuel economy. There might an other costlier variant as well to be powered by a lead-acid battery, however the company hasn't commented anything on the same.
Expected to be priced around Rs 6 lakh, the Reva E2O (48-volt, electric motor version) is coming at a time when the country is actually in need of cars, that are run by alternative and cheaper fuel options. The company that already has Reva i in its portfolio, is expecting to change the people's mindset with its first four-seater car, which has more space, power and better looks than its sibling.
Although, there is no competitor as such for Reva E2O, the upcoming Nissan leaf could emerge a sa potential threat, which is again an electric concept.
Stay tuned for more udpates on the same. Cheers!
