The small Indian company known as Reva specializes in electric cars of the diminutive variety.  Aside from their current offering, the G-Wiz, the company will introduce two new electric models at the Frankfurt Motor Show next week.  In addition to the vehicles, the company will also display what they claim is a wireless EV recharging system.

The first of the two vehicles is called the NXR.  The company calls it a four seater family electric car.  The image above displays this vehicle with its tiny dimensions looks to be barely capable fo carrying four people.

The other vehicle to be debut is the NXG.  This vehicle is a two seat model with a removable roof.  The NXG should hit world markets next year with the NXR scheduled to follow in 2010.

Vehicles aside, Reva will debut something that should be more interesting to EV fans and potential owners.  They will officially announce their REVive system.  The system, according to the company, "will address range anxiety by allowing customers to call or text Reva for "instant remote recharge."

How the system works in unknown at this point.  Its hard to believe that any company can send enough energy wirelessly to recharge a power hungry vehicle or if that's even what Reva intends to do with the system.

As Reva says, "Another world-first for REVA at The IAA is the launch of REVive, a technology unique to REVA that addresses 'range anxiety' and acts like an invisible reserve fuel tank. The customer just has to telephone or SMS REVA for an instant remote recharge should they run out of charge. Both the REVA NXR and the REVA NXG will feature the REVive telematics technology. Further technology and pricing announcements will be made at the IAA."

We will have to wait for the show and official unveiling to see how the system works, but for now two more EVs can be added to the ever growing list expected to be released in the next few years.
