No. It wasn't ahead of its time. It looks terrible, has NO SPACE FOR ANYTHING, no range, no safety, nothing. And on top of that, it cost a staggering 3-4 lakhs on road (back then). Good riddance.
The only thing missing in India entrepreneurs is Vision. The company was started in 1994 but what they managed to built was just a toy car with funny look. If they just kept improving it and designed more like a normal car then Reva could have been a top EV in India and instead of Tata we might had been crediting Reva for EV revolution in India
But as he mentioned practically and economically these things are way costlier than normal alto 800 .. They have to change their battery .. And it costs atleast 1.5 lakhs to 2 lakhs .. Why would anyone would spend that much on that kind of car .. Even if they make big cars like sedan or suv .. the range they offer will more less .. What tata did with Nexon ev is good .. (even it's charger is worth 1.5 lakh ) but still not impressive sales numbers.. Tata is also offering cng cars like tigor and Tiago ... Which may be economical as well .. Let's see what can if hydrogen cars can be practical.. as gadkari is promoting them we can see hydrogen cars on road in 5 years .. Untill then enjoy regular diesel / petrol car hassle free .. and if you want to go for fuel economy go for cng or lpg .. Ev are not made for middle class .. And if rich people wants to spend there 30-50 lakhs they will go for fortuner , Innova , jaguar , bmw , Mercedes they wont care about price of petrol .. And i don't think india will open Market for Tesla if they want to manufacture in China ..
Okay correction :- sales numbers of tata ev are good .. but not impressive.. and we can see more companies going for ev .. and still i don't think middle class(India's main consumers) are going for ev yet ..
U dont need to complaint abt the build quality, range, and safety... Its made in 2006 where the entry levels like alto and 800 had nothing in the name of safety , power steering and base model had no AC as well....we should proud that, we have invented an electric car in 2001 before Tesla
@@ashhadd look the weight for 1KWh battery pack is approx 9 kg so with 30 BHP power and 650kg net weight the battery required would be 10-15 KWh for 200km range that is 90-130 Kg battery weight so now this car should weight less than 550 kg without battery, which is not possible unless totally made of carbon fiber or full plastic body.
Hey Faisal, the first electric car was not Reva! It was Lovebird. It was manufactured by Eddy Electric series in 1993. sadly they stopped manufacturing because the car didn't sell in good numbers and the govt. Stopped giving subsidies.
@@FasBeam Yes. Manufactured in a place called Eddypuram, in the outskirts of Kochi, Kerala India. The electric car, called Lovebird had a 4 speed manual transmission as well. That's probably the only EV with a MT and a clutch. Also, believe me... India's first hyperloop was also tested there! The founder of the company was a real genius. Unfortunately, he's no more. The ruins of the factory is still there, though...
Mahindra's 1st electric car reva it's so small so small that it's not that practical. But later mahindra rectified it and launched e2O and faisal bhai please review the mahindra e2O also.
It was NOT Mahindra lol. It was BOUGHT by Mahindra after 2010. Mahindra bought and licensed everything that it sells Today. Developed nothing, Indian brands all do this.
Eddy electric. Man he literally tried everything from eddy current loads to India's first Switched reluctance motors, electric lifters, trucks but his bad it was located in Kerala which was not so friendly for industry back then. Have had chance to visit the company several times in the late 2000s by that time he was too old. May be he peaked too early
Dude, I was seriously searching for this car from last week in Bangalore. Really wanted to gift this car to my college-going sister and daily-driven girlfriend who commutes to office. You seriously have 6th sense buddy. I was really looking to have an overlook on this. Haha. God damn buddy. Cheers /m/
Idk if it's only me or really the stalks,the cabin lamp,the hazard light switch and the outside door handles are really the same as in the last gen maruti 800(the one with clear lamps all around)
I still remember my neighbour had this car & other than him no one had this car 😂. 1 time i sat inside this car bring my childhood days . We had ambassador mark 4.
I guess the car is pretty good as a city car..the category it belongs to. Apart from the review presented by the channel owner and the general notion of a car in our country, it's doing a good job. Taking someone from A to B in a city, avoiding traffic, keeping the cost low, park it anywhere (small size) and pollution free. Wot else we expect from a city car. I think it's a damn good commuter for congested cities we live in now. Just my view!
No one could have thought 15 years back that we're going to have Electric Car like Nexon that too by an Indian manufacturer nd there are more exciting EVs coming from Tata nd Mahindra. We've come so far in the last 15 Years!!
We had an owner of one of these here in Dehradun so this car was a familiar sight so many years ago. To tiny for practical use. But if Mahindra had had the vision they would have R & D’d this better and got ahead of TATA in this space. I feel.
Faisal bro whenever i feel to check about the OG cars ,literally u r videos pop up and that makes me satisfied that u are the one who's gonna review the nuts of tht car....
bruh my uncle has this car which he still loves to drive, almost everyone in his office drove it atleast once 😆 I too drive it every once in a while and its fun af!
Thought of buying Reva car, second hand itself was 2 lakh in 2014, so finally choosen Nano twist XT power steering at 2.85 lakh brand new one. Till date not a single problem I got. Just spent around 50000 for servicing in these 9 yrs. And car is spacious. If nano was Electric it would have better but we cannot change people perception as a cheapest car. Cheapest word damaged the nano image, but truly nano is well built car for small family.
*Hi Faisal..Please rply👇😊* *I know you are a driving enthusias person but, my question is : "How do you feel when another one drives the car and you sit in the back of the car.?"🤞😁*

Faisal should play prank with ppl who sit with him in car.. after talking about car.. he should stop de car and take out a toy gun and point at de passenger saying " chal be paisa nikaal"
How many of you have seen the drag race I did with this car, against a table 🤪
And so did I also watch it
Nah I didn't watch it missed it

Chintu mintu, abey faisal pagal hai kya.
"Using the horn depleted the range by 3 kms" That was hillarious😂💀

This car was far ahead for its time. It was never made to be a commercial success. I think it deserves some respect.

@@akarshshekhar5233agreed. We shouldn’t justify anything and everything just because of a nostalgia factor.
@@akarshshekhar5233it was ahead of time in india btw which car was your parents driving @2001

We can see more of this in Pondicherry...I was surprised at this machine at first...Glad to know what it is in real❤️
Honestly, it doesnt sound as bad as you make it sound... And its 20 years old, electric and still running. Not bad tbh!
Jali na Teri jali na 🤣🤣🤣
Yes. Just check out a 20 year old petrol or diesel car. This was really revolutionary at that time.... And he is reviewing this now.

"I'm driving at 20kmh and it feels like 150 kmh in this car" LMAO
Nano look and technology was ahead of its time.
I remember carrying a mobile phone power bank to charge my REVA, back in those days, whenever the car stopped due to LOBAT

Backseats r just for luggage and small kids I think so Mahindra should have provided with a remote control to play with it when we r bored 🤣
It was actually designed by students of Rewa engineering college. It was their final year engineering project.
It would be so much fun if all people start driving in city with this .. instead of scooters
You always give the genuine reviews 😛😅😂😂
Congratulations 🎉 16 L Sub...
I seen this car in lucknow this car was looking cute
This is the size I want an electric car to be

I too drive it every once in a while and its fun af!
How much price
i want to drive this now
this guy is more obsessed with chintu mintu than the car
I respect this kind of Idea 🔥
Man this car is nostalgic for me I remember that I had asked my parents to buy it for me as a kid, I loved this chintu mintu car .
Bhai ye gadi maine 2006 me dekhi thi 🥰🥰🥰🥰 bachpan yaad agya
If you buy the batteries, you should get the Reva free

"CHINTU-MINTU"
I like how he said SUPER DOOPER CHINTU-MINTU CARRR
From AUDI intro to reviewing REVA........Faisal came a long way🤣🤣🤣
How can I buy this?
Only some people know that - first electric car was developed by Thomas Davenport in 1835.
Before petrol, only electric cars were in use.
It was so famous in banglore
It you replace current generation batteries will range go up?
Whenever Faizal reviews a small car adds+ Chintu Mintu😂😂
