Mahindra Reva Electric Vehicles Private Limited, formerly known as the Reva Electric Car Company, is an Indian company based in Bangalore, involved in designing and manufacturing of compact electric vehicles. The company's flagship vehicle is the REVAi electric car, available in 26 countries with more than 4,000 of its different versions sold worldwide by mid March 2011. Reva was acquired by Indian conglomerate Mahindra & Mahindra in May 2010. In 2013, MAHINDRA REVA was selected as one of "The World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies 2013″ by Fast Company
The Reva Electric Car Company (RECC) was founded in 1994 by Chetan Maini, as a joint venture between the Maini Group of Bangalore and Amerigon Electric Vehicle Technologies (AEVT Inc.) of the USA. The company's sole aim was to develop and produce an affordable compact electric car. Several other automakers were also aiming to do so, but in 2001 RECC launched the REVA.
RECC joined up with several automotive experts to develop components for REVA. Curtis Instruments, Inc. of USA developed a Motor Controller specifically for the car. The car had a high-tech power pack for which Tudor India Limited supplied customized Prestolite batteries. The Charger for Reva was developed by Modular Power Systems of USA (a division of TDI Power). Later, RECC started manufacturing the charger themselves through a technical collaboration agreement between MPS and the Maini Group.
Reva (according to some sources Reeva) was a series of cars made by Dan Werbin and Holger Brånby at Reva gård in Sweden in the mid-1960s. They were two seated coupé mid engined sports cars . The first one built in 1964, the Reva GT, was made with a fibreglass body on a VW Beetle chassis. It was followed by the Reva GT Mk1 powered with a VW 1200 engine and fitted with Porsche brakes. Three Mk1s were made. The Mk II model had more rounded shapes, but still used the VW Beetle chassis. The company produced and sold about 20 bodies, but no complete cars. For the 1968 Mk III they wanted to produce a more finished car. The body was made lower and wider and they no longer used the Beetle chassis, but had a custom made chassis made of steel tubes. The prototype was powered by a 3.5 litre Buick V8, the next was fitted with a 5.4 litre Chevrolet Corvette engine and number three had a 5.41 litre Oldsmobile V8. Then the rules for amateur built vehicles in Sweden changed and they had to end production.

come again she said
heading for the fungus road
one too many times
he's bitin you down to the bone
so you sail away
into the unknown
stay away he said
dont ever come back home
cry away the days the last so long
on the road she stays away
stay away
you can find me pain
that he left inside your home
fallin in the rain
your hole life has fall'n a part
so you say to me
into the unknown
stay away he said
dont ever come back home
cry away the days the last so long
on the road she stays away
alone she cries
use that inside
new look, new lies
who thought that he's that loser who once said
here's your kiss good bye
see this is real
she doesn't feel
lonely hearts
shattered dreams
there's nothing better in this place
nothing but memories in your mind
so you say to me
into the unknown
stay away he said
dont ever come back home
cry away the days the last so long
on the road she stays away
alone she cries
lose that hate inside
new love, new lies
who thought that he'd he's that ol' loser who once said
here's your kiss good bye
alone she cries
lose that hate inside
new love, new lies
who thought that he's that loser who once said
