Kamla, the Reva is marketed in the UK as a G-Wiz but alas it is not a car but a quadricycle! This allows it to bypass the European legislation that requires cars to pass a front and side impact test.
I'd highly recommend watching that video before getting into one.
It dosn't insipre me with confidence in the other mostly plastic electric cars, i'd rather lose a bit of range by adding crumple zones and impact bars than adding computers and wifi.

While we are on the subject of electric cars...India's REVA has a great looking electric car that is sold in Europe. This car comes equipped with a PDA and other electronic gadgets. I was lucky to talk to Chetan Maini of REVA and here is the link to it: http://kamlabhattshow.com/blog/2007/02/22/podcast-interview-chetan-maini-of-reva-indias-first-electric-car/
Thanks!
