There’s no question that India’s Reva Electric company is the best at what it does and that’s to manufacture cheap, electric vehicles. It has quietly and successfully created an empire that covers 24 countries. These days, you’ll see Reva factories in Europe, Asia, and even Central America. In Bangalore alone, there’s a plant that can churn out 30,000 cars in a year. Without a doubt, that’s an impressive number anyway you look at it.

Since 2001, the Reva Electric Car has gone a long way. Basically, this compact 3-door hatchback is designed as a city car. Powered by a 6.4-horsepower DC motor and six lead-acid batteries, the Reva Electric Car is one of the most efficient cars you’ll encounter. Unfortunately, it’s MPG-conscious design prevents it from being a speedster. Then again, it’s a perfect vehicle when it comes to weaving the urban traffic.

These days, most electric from Reva can already travel at 50 mph. Aside from that, they come with standards disc brakes, collapsible steering column, and a much improved chassis. This year, they’re lead-acid batteries were replaced by lithium-ion batteries that are lighter and easier to charge while offering an increased coverage.
