The first EV to catch the spotlight will be the NXR. Reva describes this as a car capable of carrying 4 persons but a lot doubt it since the dimensions seems to be small to achieve this.

Next in line will be the NXG, a two-seat EV that is scheduled to debut by next year. The NXR will roll off the market by 2010.

The rest of the car industry is more interested in what Reva calls REVive system. This technology aims to alleviate the range anxiety which is a big issue in the acceptance of EVs in any market. How REVive work is not yet clear but according to sources it will be a remote charging system.

EV owners will only have to call or send an SMS to REVive to remotely recharge their vehicles in case they run out of power while on the road. How the telematics technology will work its magic is not yet clear but it will be a feature of the NXR and the NXG.

Reva has yet to announce the pricing scheme for the cars and the REVive. This might be done during the Frankfurt Auto Show.

“The C-Cactus has a simple design that decreases the number of elements – even doing away with the dashboard – which contributes to a reduction in weight, cost and impact on the environment.”

Okay, maybe that’s true — but it’s pretty ugly if you ask me. If Citroën wants to score, it’s going to have to make the C-Cactus (or whatever name it’ll have) a better look…
