    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

    • @vandematram4
      @vandematram4 Год назад +2

      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 ..

    • @vandematram4
      @vandematram4 Год назад +1

      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 ..

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.

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.

    Hilarious and brings back memories of another FRP car from Bengaluru, Sipani D1 (Diesel) my dad owned one (what a bad decision) we sold it in two years at a heavy loss: Lesson learnt: In India never try to stand out from the crowd. 😁
