Chevrolet Spark Electra to Hit Indian Roads Soon


General Motors India’s small car Chevrolet Spark will soon be launched in the electric version on Indian roads. Chevrolet India has forayed into a technology tie-up with Reva Electric Car Company. The main aim is to produce green cars and the Bangalore based Reva is set to assist in the endeavor.

At its Halol (Gujarat) and Talegaon (Maharashtra) manufacturing plants, Chevrolet India plans to export 20 per cent of the production starting 2011. The two facilities have a capacity of 225,000 units a year. The company is also setting up a new line with a 160,000-unit per year capacity at Talegaon in order to manufacture petrol and diesel engines, which will go on stream towards the end of next year.

Cars from Reva never became hugely popular in India due to the high prices and the fact that the initial version of the car suffered from low build quality. Government subsidies were non existent and the car suffered from limited range and it was powered by the lead acid battery. But the newer versions namely NXR and NXG will change the perception as the car will escalate to improved battery technology.

The technology tie-up between General Motors and Reva is certainly going to yield positive results as the product is slated to be India’s first real electric car.

Mitsubishi launched their new electric vehicle, i-MiEV


Mitsubishi Motors Corporation is considered to be one of the notable car manufacturer's in the world today and they have now launched their new car i-MiEV, which is an electric vehicle. The company unveiled the i-MiEV at its headquarters in Tokyo.

The major feature that relates with this new car i-MiEV is that it can powered solely by electricity, and can be recharged from a regular home socket. The four-seater vehicle can run up to 160 kilometres (100 miles) after charging seven hours at 200 volts. The other notable thing is that it is a zero-emission vehicle and it does not rely on oil, which is different from hybrid cars.

The major letdown with this new car is that it is twice as expensive as popular hybrid cars by rivals Toyota and Honda. Mitsubishi's i-MiEV costs 4.59 million yen ($47,560), more than twice as much as Toyota's new Prius, which is just over 2 million yen, or Honda's Insight, which starts at 1.89 million yen, the cheapest hybrid on the market. But the company is planning to cut the price below 2 million yen, as the production increases.

Sales of this new car to individual consumers in Japan will begin in April 2010. This new product from Mitsubishi will also be available in United States, China, Britian and other European countries.
