Hmmm Tesla first had the concept of wireless electricity, basically turning radio waves back into current. MIT in 2008 actually got it to work and light a lightbulb wirelessly, but in order for this to be powered wirelessly the frequency would have to be so high it would fry people's brains. Then you run into the problem of how will you limit people from using your signal to power their homes? If i had to guess this is not what it seems, perhaps a service where they come out and deliver you a new battery. Who knows, but i highly doubt its wireless charging.

This car looks like a Proton Savvy seen a fairground comedy mirror. That wireless charging thing sounds nonsense. Maybe they just text you back with the location of a "public" high capacity charger?

I think first we will see wireless charging for cellphones, the frequencies are high enough that you technically would not need a battery. First phone company to patent that and put out a phone will dominate the market. Cmon nokia N100 should be the one!

Looks ugly and tiny. And give me a brake with all this econobox makers that appear like mushrooms after rain, well the good part is that most of them will die as fast.

this is the second generation Reva, first generation is already on sale since many years, i think the first generation uses the same technology as this one.

Sounds like a good idea, but it looks more like a Hasqvarna lawnmower than it does a car.

Wireless charging is possible, can be done via induction charging, but this seems completely different technology, radio waves? who knows... would be a revolution, bye bye gas.

uhh this is pretty amazing stuff. Who cares if it is ugly, which it isn't. This is perfect for hellish indian traffic.

Hi Guys Enabling you to combat "range anxiety", access the hidden reserve in the battery "safely" without affecting your battery life Check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOIKbTTxiLg Regards Steve Hollman
