The REVAi, known as G-Wiz in the United Kingdom,[2] is a small micro electric car, made by the Indian manufacturer Reva Electric Car Company between 2001 and 2012. By late 2013 Reva had sold about 4,600 vehicles worldwide, in 26 countries.[3][4] Sales in the United Kingdom, its main market, ended by the end of 2011.[5] Production ended in 2012 and the REVAi was replaced by the Mahindra e2o.[1]
In many countries the REVAi does not meet the criteria to qualify as a highway-capable motor vehicle, and fits into other classes, such as neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV) in the United States and heavy quadricycle in Europe.[6]
The vehicle was originally known as simply the REVA, but was then improved and renamed the REVAi.[7][8]
