Experience w / REVA electric cars? How many thousands of miles batteries do not last? The people in India who manufacture Reva's claim that its battery pack lead past 800 recharge cycles, and have not had complaints about the batteries with REVAS. If there are owners of ECAR Reva in this forum, could you tell us about your experience with longevity of your battery? When his ruling on drums for the first time? (How many cycles, or miles, or months of use) How to detect bad battery / batteries?

Well, I do not drive a REVA, but I drive an electric car with a lead-acid battery pack. These batteries can last 10,000 miles and 30,000 miles, depending on how well they are cared for. My own battery pack costs about $ 850 to replace, so at 20,000 miles, which is about 4 cents per mile. My cost of electricity is about 1 cent per mile. So my total cost per mile is 5 cents, which is much cheaper than gasoline. A Again, I do not know about the REVA specifically, but monitor the health of individual strains checking my batteries (which should be the same, within 2 tenths of a volt), and occasionally also measure specific gravity (the chemistry of electrolytes.)
