Chetan Maini On Electric Car
Chetan Maini, Deputy Chairman and Chief Technical Officer of Reva Electric Car Company always maintained that, people do not buy Electric Cars for doing long distances or do not own it as a family vehicle. They see them as ideal for covering short distances and negotiating congested and narrow roads. Naturally, women are big fans of these cars. “They constitute 50 per cent of all electric car buyers,” says Maini.
The experience of Reva Electric Car Company is that most customers are second-time buyers. But, going forward, the company sees even-first time buyers opting for electric cars. The market will grow in tandem with the economy. The market now is about two to three per cent of the overall car market. But by 2020, the share will go up to twenty per cent.
Mr. Maini wants government to intervene and provide more and more incentives for these projects. He states, “government must provide incentive (to customers) to make the shift to electronic cars. Countries, including Thailand, China, Israel, the UK, offer a variety of concessions.” “As a result, these cars go off the dealerships at a faster rate in these countries. Besides, their government gives direct help to manufacturers to develop these electric cars and also in their promotion” he added.
From the War of Currents (between Tesla and Edison) to the war of words (between automakers and policymakers) Electric Vehicles have only been a flash in the pan.
This time, however, electric cars seem ready to make a full throttle comeback.
Electric vehicles or EVs have always been just an idea of the motor industry and certainly has a long way to go till it becomes a reality. It dates back to the time of Nikola Tesla, 1880s when the scientist made the use of alternative current (now used in EVs) possible in a big way.
Electric cars have not been able to replace vehicles running on petrol and other biofuels, although they were meant for the purpose.
The romance with electric cars has been short lived but it ignites every few decades only to be dowsed again. This year, majority of the automobile companies worldwide are talking about electric cars. Many car makers have even conceptualised cars, which are environment friendly. The 10th Auto Expo in New Delhi this year saw the likes of Maruti, Hyundai, Honda Siel, Toyota and Tata Motors display their electric vehicles ready to ride on the Indian soil.

Do you think 50k is reasonable for an all electric car? Aka Tesla?
I am guessing gas will prob be at $4.00 by this time next year. Do you think it’s wise to by an all electric car. They say if you charge it on off-peak hours it is about $.01 a mile. What’s your input?
You’re not really saving anything if they cost so much. The Tesla is over 100k not 50k.
I’ve come across an excellent resource on how to convert your gas guzzler into a highly efficient Electric Motor vehicle. And the good news is that building Electric Cars isn’t very hard to do. You will need 10 – 12 deep cycle batteries, an electric motor battery charger, controller and (of course) a good set of Electric Car Conversion Motor plans.....
