India’s real pride - Reva the world's first electric vehicles sold commercially

The Reva was among the world's first electric vehicles sold commercially. It did not take off initially quite as its maker had hoped but it has blazed a trail for other electric cars -- such as General Motors'' new Chevrolet Volt -- which are coming into their own in an age of high oil prices. India’s Maini Group and AEV of the United States set up Reva Electric Car Co in 1994. The company was the first to successfully commercialise electric vehicles, according to consultancy Frost & Sullivan. By 2001, it had built its first all electric car, just four years after Toyota Motor began selling a car that would come to define the eco-friendly auto segment, the Prius hybrid. The Reva was the brainchild of Chetan Maini, scion of the Maini Group, who championed the car at a time when scepticism was widespread about the viability of electric vehicles.
