It’s a shocking Reva-lution!
Indian firm unveils crazy electric two-seater while roomy family hatch also on way
G-WIZ, take a look at this pair of showstoppers! It’s not one but two stablemates for the UK’s best known electric city car.
The quirky G-Wiz is made by Indian firm REVA and bosses are using the Frankfurt expo to unveil two new models.
And they’re not only green on the outside, either. NXR and NXG – that’s Next Revolution and Next Generation, respectively – are both all-electric vehicles.The NXR is a four-seat, two-door family car suitable for urban driving.
It has a top speed of 60mph and the advanced lithium-ion battery gives the city runabout a range of 100 miles.
The hatchback rear should make it a practical proposition for carrying small loads, too.
The quirky tri-colour NXG is a sporty two-seater with a targa roof. It can travel up to 125 miles between charges.
But the most surprising innovation is ‘REVive’ – a new hi-tech charging technology that REVA claims can replenish a flat battery remotely.
When a customer’s battery dies, they can simply phone or text the company, and minutes later power is restored. Both the NXR and NXG will use the system.
A spokesman said: “This is a tremendous step forward in what will be a fascinating journey for EV users.”
There’s no word yet on possible pricing or when the cars will hit these shores.
