The Reva costs more than some really competent hatchbacks. The battery needs replacement after 4 years at a cost of 60,000+. A previous owner had also mentioned that there is some differential tax to be paid once the car is 5 years old. Depreciation, one of the most significant costs of automotive ownership, will also (expectedly) hit the Reva hard.
Buying a Reva to look *green* is totally cool; but if you get one to save money, thats really not a wise decision.
