Mahindra Last Mile Mobility Limited
Mahindra Electric, also known as Mahindra Last Mile Mobility Limited, formerly known as Mahindra Electric Mobility Limited (2016–2023) and Reva Electric Car Company (2010–2016), was an Indian company based in Bangalore that designed and manufactured compact electric vehicles. The company's first vehicle, the REVAi electric car, was available in 26 countries with 4,000 versions sold worldwide by mid-March 2011. Reva was acquired by the Indian conglomerate Mahindra & Mahindra in May 2010. After the acquisition, the company launched the electric hatchback e2o in 2013. The company sold electric vehicles in different segments – the electric sedan eVerito, the electric commercial vehicle eSupro (passenger and cargo), and the Treo range of low maintenance, lithium-ion battery-powered three-wheelers. As a part of Mahindra & Mahindra, they now sell the XUV 400, BE 6 and XEV 9e under the Mahindra branding, while electric commercial vehicles still use the Last Mile Mobility branding.
The Reva Electric Car Company (RECC) was founded in 1994 by Chetan Maini as a joint venture between the Maini Group and Amerigon Electric Vehicle Technologies. The company aimed to develop and produce an affordable, compact electric car. In 2001, RECC launched the REVA, a small micro electric hatchback.
RECC joined up with several automotive experts to develop components for REVA. Curtis Instruments created a motor controller for the car. The car had a power pack for which Tudor India Limited supplied customized Prestolite batteries. The charger for Reva was developed by Modular Power Systems, a division of TDI Power. Later, RECC started manufacturing the charger through a technical collaboration agreement between MPS and the Maini Group.
In 2004, GoinGreen of the UK agreed with RECC to import REVA cars and market them under the name G-Wiz.
In 2008, a revamped REVA model was launched called the REVAi. The company started production of a Lithium-ion variant called the REVA L-ion in 2009.
In 2009, at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Reva presented its future models — the Reva NXR and Reva NXG. During the event, Reva and General Motors India declared a technical collaboration to develop an affordable EV for the Indian market. As a result of this, General Motors India announced an electric version of their hatchback in the New Delhi Auto Expo 2010. Named the e-Spark, Reva was to provide the battery technology for the vehicle.
On 26 May 2010, India's largest sports utility vehicles and tractor maker Mahindra & Mahindra bought a 55.2% controlling stake in Reva. Following the deal, the company was renamed Mahindra Reva Electric Vehicles Private Limited. The president of the automotive sector at Mahindra & Mahindra, Pawan Goenka, became the new company's chairman. As a result of the ownership change, General Motors pulled out of the tie-up with Reva that was to produce the e-Spark.
Before the Mahindra acquisition, Reva had partnered with Bannon Automotive to set up an assembly plant in upstate New York to produce the NXR for the US market. In December 2010, Bannon filed a lawsuit against Reva, alleging that the company had not fulfilled its agreement to allow Bannon to manufacture and sell the NXR in the United States. The case was settled in January 2012, and the result was not disclosed.
