REVA, known is some markets as the G-Whiz, is an all-electric town car and is available from the Irish distributor www.GreenAer.ie.
For €11,500 you get an all-electric, two-seat REVA standard that uses lead acid batteries - just like a normal car's battery but more of them.
If you want better performing 'L-ion' batteries as your power source there is a retail premium.
The latest REVAi launched in 2008 is the third generation of the REVA EV (Electric Vehicle).
REVAi offers a range of up to 80km for less than €1 with virtually zero emissions.
There is a choice of colours - including Marine Blue, Lightning Silver or Deep Black - fabric interior, a Clarion CD/MP3 Player, one year's free road tax and your first year's service.
GreenAer.ie was started in 2007 with a view to promote the uptake of sustainable personal transport solutions in Ireland.
Based in Blackrock, Co Dublin, it also distributes electrically-assisted bicycles including the award-winning Gocycle.
REVA is one of the world's most experienced electric vehicle (EV) developers and manufacturers.
Today, REVA has the world's largest deployed fleet of electric cars, with customers in 24 countries clocking over 70m km worldwide.
REVA has a new car on the way called the NXR (pictured) that can travel up to 160km and be fast charged in 1.5 hours.
Orders are being taken for the car, with first deliveries are expected towards the end of 2010/early 2011.
GM has also recently entered in a partnership with REVA for the manufacturing of their Spark EV, which represents a significant step in terms of technology endorsement.
