Reva Electric Car

Reva Electric Car

One of the most packed booths at the MIAS 2009 is the Reva Electric Car, a 4-seater ultra-compact sedan that works on electricity.

The Reva car has a top speed of 80 kmph with a maximum range of 80 kilometers on a single charge. At current Meralco rates, that comes down to just over Php1.00 per kilometer compared to Php4.00 for gas-driven counterparts.

Complete specs of the Reva:
2-Door, 2+2-seater hatchback
Rear Wheel Drive
220V, 2.2kw high frequency switch mode type charger
48V, 200-Amp-hr, EV Lead Acid Batteries
Automatic, Direct-Drive transmission
13″ tires
700kg curb weight

It has 4 seats but if you look at the picture of the inside, the two seats at the back can only fit small kids.

Distributed by EVnnovations in the Philippines and comes in white, silver, yellow, black red and blue colors. No final retail price but they said it will be somewhere between Php500,000 to Php600,000.

DON’T POST:

sir, can you check this site please http://technews-ihaw.blogspot.com there’s a rumor that you are one of the contributors of this site, is it true?

The former site was technews-isaw.blogspot.com the owner of ISAW (Internet Security And Warfare) Art Sandiego of Manila Bulletin (?) aka Excalibur, together with Sysmon a pinoy hacker based in Australia and Babis a Greek hacker of Filipino descent are now consultants of the NBI for cyber security. This is the reason daw why IHAW or Internet Hacking And Warfare was born because you don’t want to be under NBI.

I went there yesterday and saw that car, I think it’s a bit scary to drive it in the highway :( I don’t feel safe

Before you buy one, make sure you’re insured :)

The Php500,000 to Php600,000 cost is not that tempting. At the same amount I could buy a normal sedan and have it converted to LPG if want it to be more eco-friendly.

thats looks like the least safest car i have ever seen. you might save some cost of fuel, but i dont think its worth it for safety.
