2010: Electric year!
Reva NXR: I have a dream...
No CO2 emission, 1.50€ for 100 km, a 160 km range on a full charge, a top speed of 106 km/h, 4 spacious seats, the option to recharge with a standard 22O Volt outlet and to be recharged remotely with a simple text message, free parking in Paris, a optional solar panel roof and last, but not least, an unbeatable price. All in all a pleasant, small, city car with an ambitious design, to get around town noiselessly and pamper our planet. The bonus? A dignified interior that could very well get us all to swap gas for electric on 97% of our annual trips.
And yet it goes up to 140 km/h!
Proudly entering the highway with a top speed of 140 km/h and 140 km of autonomy, the highly awaited I-MievMitsubishi surprises with its power and manageability. On the outside: a clever and funny little city car with wheels planted at all 4 extremities. On the inside: sitting behind the vast windscreen, the driver's curious sensation of flying is unperturbed by the few aerodynamic noises, effectively creating a serene environment. Upon turning the ignition key, one is surprised by this Japanese car's apparent struggle to start. Error in judgment; there she is, ready to go, only in complete silence. It takes about 7 hours to fully recharge the I-Miev's batteries through a 220V home socket while an 80% charge in 30 minutes is possible via a three-phased connection.
