europe's largest electric car owner's club

The Reva G-Wiz Owner's Club

The Reva G-Wiz electric car owners club is an informal group of G-Wiz electric car owners and enthusiasts. Formed in the Summer of 2006, it exists as a forum to exchange views and ideas, and for occasional social meetings with like-minded people.

Membership is free and is open to all. Central to the club's activities is the on-line forums, where people can exchange views and ideas online. If you are interested in finding out more about the car, or have comment of your own to make, it is well worth reading these forums.

You don't have to own a Reva G-Wiz electric car in order to join the club. All enthusiasts are welcome, and if your interests are in electric cars other than the Reva G-Wiz, you're still welcome to join in.

We also welcome journalists and students carrying out research into electric cars.

All are welcome, except for company's masquarading as enthusiasts trying to sell your own products or services to members. If you have a product or a service that you think may be of interest to our members, please e-mail us first to introduce yourselves.

What is a
Reva G-Wiz?

The Reva G-Wiz electric car is a small four-seat battery electric car, designed in California, built in India and imported into the UK by a company called GoinGreen.

Designed as a city car. It can take two adults and two children, keeps up with other traffic in town and is small enough to squeeze through the narrowest gaps and park in the smallest spaces.

In London, it is exempt from the Congestion Charge, and owners are entitled to free parking by some councils. Several councils have gone further by providing free charging points for electric cars, allowing them to be recharged whilst parked.

The electric car is charged by plugging the car directly into a standard 13amp socket. 80% charge is achieved in a little over two hours, with a full charge taking around 8 hours to complete. A typical charge costs around 30-50p, depending on electricity tarriff.

Over 1200 Reva G-Wiz electric cars have been sold in the London area alone. It is the UKs best selling electric car of all time.

Know your
Reva G-Wiz

The G-Wiz (known as the Reva in the rest of Europe) has evolved since its UK launch in 2003. There are three distinct versions of the car:

G-Wiz dc-drive

The dc-drive car is the original model produced until the end of 2006. The top speed is 40mph and the range is 30-40 miles.

G-Wiz ac-drive

Visually identical to the dc-drive model, the ac-drive was launched in mid 2006. Its faster with a top speed of 45mph, has improved hill climbing abilities and has a better range (up to 48 miles) thanks to an improved motor and better regenerative braking.

G-Wiz i

Announced in November 2007 with deliveries starting last February, the Reva G-Wiz i has a curved windscreen, front disk brakes, better handling, more interior headroom, a digital dashboard, a top speed of 50mph and a new crash-tested safety cell developed with Lotus.

Lighter, longer range lithium ion batteries with an anticipated range of 65 miles will be an option in the car in the near future. The Reva G-Wiz i crash test, November 2007
