Top speed is 104 km/h (65 mph) with a range of 160 km (99 miles) per charge. If using the 90-minute fast charge (normal charging is eight hours), the REVA NXR offers an effective range of 320 km (199 miles) a day. A fast charge for 15 minutes will provide a 40 km (25 mile) range. This is what the Project 2012 is all about.
