Reva Electric Car (First EV in the Philippines)

600K + taxes?

It's sure to fail.

At that price, you can buy a Vios or Getz. No issue with electricity and you don't have to wait for 8hrs to start using it again.

If you wanna save fuel and the environment, you can buy a Hyundai Getz CRDI or Accent CRDI and get 20+ kms per liter.

This is the car that Topgear UK bombed into flames right?

Same exact car.

But in the UK it's marketed as the G-Wiz.

P500K to P600k is too expensive for a small two seater eco-mobile for everyday people to consider buying. Not to mention, people will be worried to death about getting run over by all motor vehicles larger than a Suzuki Jimny when you drive it on the roads like EDSA.

We will just have to wait for the TATA Nano to arrive in the Philippines.

Too expensive pa rin for me.

BTW, anong battery technology ang gamit nyan? malamang lead-acid.

Magkano ba ang electric golf cart? hehehehehe. for price comparison lang. :D

In London, nasa 500K din sya.

The company is planning to lease a limited number of cars. No idea how much...

These guys are alive?

It's been a long time since I've heard about this project. Last I heard the asking price was around 800-900k (tax inclusive)... which is why they were having problems marketing it.

500-600k is still too much. Other small electrics are selling for around 250-450k pesos. My dad's 8-seater cost just 350k. Sure, it has no doors or AC, but still...

WHAT!? is this still the price of that freaking REVAi?
napakamahal naman for a 2seater (+2super sikip rear seats)! and i thought na ang price lang niyan would range from 3xx-5xx, hindi pala. nakakadismaya namang price yan. natipuhan ko pa naman kamakailan lang nung nakita ko in flesh last sat sa mias..
anybody here know ano po specs and features ng car na yan dito sa pinas? baka po kasi may nawala at nadagdag aside dun sa nabasa ko sa reva na site sa india yata. sayang kasi di na test drive ng friend ko to along with the great wall cars..

what does the Gcar look like BTW?
