- check this website.
- it is an electric car company in india.
- they are exporting elctric cars globally , london, europe,etc
- car has received all necessary regulatory certifications in europe, especially uk and is safe car.
- currently they are using lead acid battery to run the car BUT THEY ARE WOKING ON LITHIUM ION AND LITHIUM POLYMER BATTERIES FOR THEIR CAR
- "Lithium Ion and Lithium Polymer batteries represent some of the most promising developments in this area"

- "
It is quite visible that Lithium Ion batteries can pack a lot more energy into every kg compared to the conventional lead acid.

Look at this ! A Li Ion car can achieve a driving range of upto 5 times the lead acid for the same weight of battery.
The other way round, one could use Batteries weighing a fifth of their lead acid counterpart to get the same driving range.

Lithium Ion batteries are also capable of ‘accepting’ charge at a higher rate. One could build charge stations that can charge a battery from zero to full in about an hour. In addition, these batteries also have a longer life and better ‘low temperature’ characteristics. These advantages would immediately overcome several of the long standing limitations of the EV.

Reva has been constant collaboration with technology leaders in the battery area and is developing on board computer systems to effectively manage these batteries in the car.
Lithium Ion batteries would ultimately make the electric car
Travel farther (longer driving range)
Charge faster (shorter charging time)
Live longer (longer period between battery replacements) and
Work better everywhere (good cold climate performance)"
