Mahindra Reva, the Bangalore based electric car manufacturing company (under Mahindra and Mahindra umbrella) is all set to launch a four seater electric vehicle. The all new electric could be based on Mahindra Gio Cab and will be christened Mahindra Reva NXR.
“We have developed prototypes of Maxximo and Gio. However, we have not decided on launching them in the market,” Pawan Goenka, president, auto and farm equipment sector, M&M, told Hindustan Times.
Mahindra Reva has not divulged any details about the pricing and launch date of NXR. The Mahindra NXR launch may happen by end of this year. Company planning to sell more than 5000 units every year.
Lack of basic infrastructure is limiting future of electric vehicles in our market. Recently GM India had unveiled a battery powered Beat in New Delhi. GM has no plans to commercialize Beat EV due to absence of basic facilities.
India government has set up two bodies to look into this problem and suggest possible solutions. We sincerely hope that these apex bodies (National Council for Electric Mobility (NCEM) and National Board for Electric Mobility (NBEM)) will come out with suitable solutions to make electric vehicles popular on our roads.
