Nope, these are not paid charging points. And it cannot be used unless one has a quick charging port installed on the car.

Re: Mahindra Reva e2o : Official Review

Hi,

e2o in Hyderabad costs about 5.9 Lakhs OTR now if we sign up for the battery plan. Is it a good deal? Mahindra is selling it direct to Hyderabad customers as of now but post Sept 15th the sales process is going to be handed over to the dealers.

Regards
Venu

Two reasons why I bought E2O

1) NANO was not available in AT then [A-STAR is atrociously priced].

2) Deep discount for E2O [4.4L OTR Bangalore for 80KM range with all the fittings of T2, higher model]. So, technically, its T2 but for the driving range. Anyway, I didn't need that higher range since you need to charge the battery once in 3 days irrespective of battery state for the better upkeep of the battery.

Now, you have NANO AMT for ease of city driving at cheaper rate.
E2O at 5.9L + the battery EMI is NOT AT ALL worth it, according to me.

Initially, I thought, E2O is an effective second car, but can not be as good as NANO AMT in all comfort aspects.

My problem with Mahindra-Reva is precisely this - They resort to deep discounting in a inappropriate and unethical manner. People who pay higher amounts feel cheated in the end.

Re: Mahindra Reva e2o : Official Review

Guys,

How many free services do we get from Mahindra Reva? Is it 2 or 3? I remember it being 3 free services over a period of 3 years (10k KMs or 1 year, 20k KMs or 2 years and 30k KMs or 3 years) and that is what the kit I received mentions too.

Mine is due for the first service and while taking handover of the car last year, the SA has taken the first free service coupon and told me that he needs it for some purpose. I didnt pay much attention to it then and now when I was checking the e2o booklet kit its missing and I have a doubt if Mahindra Reva provides free first service without the coupon.

Meanwhile I had a problem with the head lamps last week. All of a sudden, one fine evening I couldn't turn on the lights while heading back home from work. Called up customer care and since it was late in the evening, they couldn't get me anyone to fix it. Luckily 70% of my travel to home is through main roads and managed the rest of the journey with the hazard lights to get back home in one piece. Took the car to Sireesh Reva Service point at HSR Layout, Bangalore the next morning and it turned out one of the wires under the steering came loose. They soldered it back and it was back to normal.

Re: Mahindra Reva e2o : Official Review

My E2O needs a insurance policy renewal and i approached almost all the major players. My car is a 80km variant and none of these guys has a IDV less than 5.2 L. the quotes i get are in range of 11 K to 17 K for zero DEP (since e2o is all plastic needs zerodep or only 50 % is covered under insurance ) Any one has done the renewal recently and any guidance on the subject is appreciated.

I got my insurance renewed recently in the month of September. Most of the online players do not list E2O in their database, so I went ahead with my dealer, Anant cars.
I paid 10,900/- for an IDV value of 4.5L with zero depreciation cover. This is with National Insurance.
P.S: I have a 80KM variant as well.

Ok But the IDV value of the car would be aprox 4 L ( 4.4 - 10%) right? or is it that we have to add the battery pack value to IDV value? Also if you have any contact details of the executive in anant cars pls PM me.

Update on this : Its 3 free services and got my car serviced at free of cost. There also was strange sound coming whenever I turn the steering. Turned out to be a suspension spring issue and they replaced it under warranty.

Re: Mahindra Reva e2o : Official Review

e2O guys, I got a call from Sireesh Auto yesterday about a "Software upgrade". I don't know for what.
For the first time, I went to service centre and left the vehicle just with a straight talk to the SA. It was very ODD for me since whenever I go [so far, for my Safari], I will have a lot to discuss pros and cons of doing [or not doing] something, etc ... then decide on what to do. Probably, this is for good

From the service centre experience so far - I didn't find anything different from Concorde [Gudlu gate] and Sireesh Auto in Marathahalli in terms of talking and their expertise.
Probably, I may find something when I take it out of service station.

Prem.

They did the same for my car too. There is a one huge difference after software upgrade. Not sure if other's have experienced it.

After a recharge, Car used to take good 8-10 seconds to authenticate the Keyfob (RFID). And even in regular start, it used to take 2-4seconds.

Now, the keyfob authentication is almost instant. No delays. Really liked it.

They picked up my car for service through a third party company called 21N (21 north), which provides pickup-drop service. But, on delivery there was small confusion and I had to call twice to get the car delivered the same day.

But, first service after 8+ months. Not needing service is one of the main advantage of EVs.
