The Chevrolet Electric Spark Project might be derailed; 2 year delay anticipated
Chevrolet e-Spark Electric Car Model
Cars, in my book, aren’t cars if they don’t burn up dinosaur remains and growl, burble or heck, even purr. But then who really cares about what I think. Plenty of people around liken cars to appliances or why else would soul less appliances that Toyota makes in the names of cars sell by the millions? All those millions won’t like what they’re about to hear.
Before anyone else catches wind of it, we bring it to you. General Motors might just abandon their tie up with Reva electric, now Mahindra Reva Electric, and go it alone for electric motor and battery options. What this could lead to is a two year delay in the Chevrolet Spark Electric’s launch in India and elsewhere. This bit of news comes straight from a top GM official who in turn has spoken to a top Indian auto journo.
A lot of people including electric car buyers would be deflated by this as GM India with the Spark Electric was all set to make some major inroads into the electric car segment with an affordable offering that could have been a serious alternative as a terrific city run about. We smell some Mahindra involvement in the entire story as they now, effectively own the erstwhile Reva Electric. Stick around as we try to wheedle out some more of this story.

Please remove the wording “Short Circuit”. It gives the misconception that the spark electric car is actually affected by by some short circuit.
Aromal,
