Some random thoughts on Electric cars and its future

I recently moved to Bangalore and was keen on buying my most favourite electric car REVA for my daily commutes. However, I could not convince even my husband since he kept asking me whether one should always be concerned about the range that a car could take us. Besides the car seems quiet expensive given the size of the car. Are we getting close to the era when there will be better technology available for battery storage and hence we can rely on Electric cars as much as we do on gas-based cars ?

Thinking about taking REVA on a mass scale, I was wondering, what would it take to convert all Autorickshaws ( The yellow colored Bajaj 3 seaters ) into battery powered vehicles There are several benefits in doing so.. May be , we could start taking Bangalore back to its original Garden city. days.. Carbon emissions are cut down and people on the road can breathe much better..

May be Reva owners should consider this option and talk to Bajaj company and take this idea to reality.. The smarter way to make Indian cities clean..

Since the current size of Reva can only accomodate only 2 adults and 2 children which is almost the same seating space and the Indian Auto, this thought just came to make Reva concept more popular..

More in my next post.
