In its efforts to give best to the consumers, REVA Electric Car Company (RECC) has developed the REVAi - a new model with a high performance AC drive train. The REVAi offers benefits to user in terms of increased power resulting in a higher top speed, 35% better acceleration and grade ability. A new optimized algorithm and higher efficiency motor extends the range. In addition features such as hill restraint and boost power mode enhance drivability. Addition of Anti Roll Bar provides excellant handling of the car. The new AC Drive REVA cars are more efficient, reliable and almost maintenance free, as the motors do not need any brush replacements. This has set up a new technology platform for future models involving advanced batteries applications, as the electronics used in the AC DRIVE car are compatible with future generation Lithiun ion batteries. Development of the AC drive train needed a totally new look at the EMI issues and EMI certification in Europe.
