India-based car maker, REVA, is showcasing two new electric models created for the European market.  The company is launching  the REVA NXR (NeXt Reva – above), a new lithium-ion powered electric car which is scheduled to go into production early 2010. Also being unveiled for the first time is REVA’s next generation electric showcar, the REVA NXG (NeXt Generation – below), which is the company’s 2011 model.

REVA NXR is an M1 category three-door, four-seater hatchback family car that is suitable for urban driving. The NXR’s top speed is 104 kph (65 mph) with a range of 160 kms (100 miles) per charge.  The NXR has a range of 320km a day using the 90 minute fast charge (normal charging is eight hours). A fast charge for 15 minutes will provide a 40 km (25 mile) range.

These cute EV’s will only be marketed in Europe for now.  The NXR will run you 14,995 euros when it goes on sale.  They offer an innovative plan where you can buy the battery separately and pay for it with a monthly payment.

REVA is considering bringing its cars to the U.S. and building a factory in in upstate New York .
