http://www.auto-retail.co.uk/public/02-08-2015/mahindra-enter-uk-market 2 August 2015 | JCarfrae Daniel Puddicombe Indian car maker Mahindra will establish a dealer network in the UK when it launches a sub-£10,000 electric vehicle next year. Mahindra is known in India for rugged SUVs and pick-ups, while it also owns Ssangyong and Reva, which produced the G-Wiz. Dubbed E20, the electric vehicle tipped for the UK has been on sale in India for two years and is loosely known as a second-generation G-Wiz. “We will most likely have our own network,” Dr Pawan Goenka, group president of Mahindra's automotive sector told Agenda. “Introducing a new vehicle to a new market requires a different mindset compared to when you launch a normal car. I don’t expect there will be a sudden rush to buy our car.” “(This) requires patience to make sales happen in the UK, and therefore only an OEM that has a long-term interest in electric vehicles can justify the weight and the patience that Mahindra has to have to wait for the sales to pick up.” [© auto-retail.co.uk] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahindra_e2o# ...

Could India be a player in the global electric car world as well? Indian automaker Mahindra & Mahindra thinks so, as it wants to sell its Reva e20 compact electric car to Europeans, says the International Business Times. Mahindra has had its eyes on expanding beyond India for a while now, including a failed attempt to import a diesel-powered compact pickup to the US. Mahindra also attempted to become a major player in India’s basically non-existent EV market, and though the country pledged to put some 7 million EVs on its roads by the end of the 2020, annual sales of the Reva have been around 1,000 cars. Mahindra’s response has been to slash the price of the Reva for Indian customers, and try to recoup its investment on the Reva by importing it to Europe. Europeans are turning to electric cars in greater and greater numbers, and while the Reva is sold in some 24 other minor markets, Europe has the money to make it a success. The key to its success will be an extremely low cost compared to EVs like the Nissan LEAF, which can go 84 miles per charge to the Reva’s approximately 62 to 75 miles. The Reva costs just $11,900 to $16,000, even when equipped with features like smartphone capability and GPS, which is about one-third of what a Nissan LEAF sells for after incentives in many European countries. The Reva e20 could end up undercutting even the Renault Twizy, while offering a number of luxury features (like doors) that the French runabout doesn’t have. Of course, if it doesn’t happen, that wouldn’t be any surprise either. The Tata Nano was supposed to be imported to Europe and America by now, but like the aforementioned Mahindra pickup, it just didn’t happen. Will the Mahindra Reva e20 be the first Indian car to find success in a market dominated by the traditional auto industry? Or is it just another false start?
