   […] Chetan Maini of REVA Electric Car on How It All Started <p><a href="http://www.revaindia.com/">REVA</a> was India’s first electric vehicle — it’s already been on the road for more than five years. We recently caught up with <a href="http://kamlabhatt.wordpress.com/2007/01/23/vblog-chetan-maini-of-reva-indias-first-electric-vehicle/"> Chetan Maini</a>, deputy chairman and CTO of Reva Electric Car Company.</p> <p>Chetan built his first solar electric car in 1990, while he was a student at the University of Michigan. In 1994, REVA was founded in Bangalore and in 2001 India’s first electric vehicle rolled out onto the roads there.</p> <p>City mobility and the goal of zero emissions were the primary reasons driving Chetan to develop the REVA. The existing model of the EEC-certified REVA is currently available in India and marketed in the U.K., Italy, Malta, Sri Lanka, Cyprus and Greece.</p> <p>Recently REVA became the first Indian automobile company to receive <a href="http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2006/12/03/stories/2006120301590200.htm">$20 million in funding</a> led by <a href="http://www.dfj.com/">Draper Fisher Jurveston</a> and <a href="http://www.globalenvironmentfund.com/">Global Environment Fund</a>. The money will be used by the car manufacturer to expand its global reach. </p> <p class="tags"><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href="http://www.podtech.net/home/search/REVA" rel="tag" style="infohead_tags">REVA</a>, <a href="http://www.podtech.net/home/search/Chetan+Maini" rel="tag" style="infohead_tags">Chetan Maini</a></p> […]

   dear sir,
   i like reva car as it is the only environmental protuctive conscious car.
   but the cost i heard has been only 1.75 lakhs out of which .75 lakhs will be subsidy.
   but actually when i started searching for the price, it’s too much more.
   is there any way that i can get it cheaper as i really like this car, but scared of the price which i am seeing outside.
