Mahindra Reva Electric Vehicles

The future of the automotive industry is electric. As we worry about climate change, energy security, and the price of oil, technological improvements are making electric cars ever cheaper and more convenient.

We acquired a majority stake in the Reva Electric Car Company in 2010 to advance the design and production of electric cars worldwide.  By integrating Reva’s electric car technology with our own leading engineering, we can build higher performance electric vehicles that satisfy customers’ demand both for better lifestyles and a healthy environment.

As a total systems solution provider, we develop all our Electric Vehicle (EV) systems in-house.  We are 270 employees pushing EV technology to the next step to create better energy management, faster charging, and advanced telematics.  We offer innovative electric vehicles and mobility solutions, technology licensing, and licensed manufacturing and distribution.

We’re well established as a major global player with the largest deployed fleet of electric cars on the road today.  Around 1,800 Revas have been sold in Europe, and more than 1,700 are on the road across Asia and Central and South America.  In total, we’re present in 24 countries worldwide—and growing.  The Mahindra Group’s manufacturing expertise and wide global distribution network will help Mahindra Reva scale up production and spread green technology across the globe. 

We're building a new plant in Bangalore, with a capacity of 30,000 vehicles per year.  In keeping with our commitment to clean technology, the entire plant is built to Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) guidelines.  We will harvest rainwater, use natural light and ventilation, and harness solar energy for electricity and heating.   With this clean manufacturing process of clean vehicles and a battery recycling program, our electric cars aim to have the lowest dust-to-dirt carbon footprints in the automotive world.

In 2007, Reva was named one of India's Coolest Companies by Business Today.  We received the 2008 Frost and Sullivan Powertrain Company of the Year award for excellent sales volume, market penetration, and customer satisfaction.  And in 2009, Business Week voted our founder and Chief Technology Officer, Chetan Maini, one of India's top 50 most influential people.
