1.The A/C System :
The Air Conditioning System in REVA is built around a mechanical vapour compression refrigerant system and a heater. The vehicle interior being small and insulation being very good the Air Conditioning System works very well.

The REVA Air Conditioning System incorporates special electronics to activate and deactivate it remotely and is integrated with the vehicle security system. This enables the user to ‘precool’ or ‘preheat’ the cabin before entering. This feature allows the Air Conditioning system to operate using the utility mains energy during charging, hence ensuring no drain from the batteries.

Unlike conventional air conditioning systems, REVA promises the same acceleration and speed even while the A/C is being used. A separate electronically controlled motor that powers the A/C compressor ensures a more comfortable and zippier drive.

2. Climate Control Seats :
Climate control seats (CCS™) in REVA provide the first level of passenger comfort enhancement by allowing the occupant to independently adjust the temperature of the seats by a selector switch. Small, light, reliable and requiring a little power, a CCS™ can deliver noticeably cool or warm air to the passengers in less than 30 seconds after activation.

Unlike conventional heated seats, CCS™ can also cool the seat. An ‘in seat’ air circulation system comprising a compact, efficient, low resistant, high capacity blower through a specialised fabric help achieve uniform temperature across the seat area.

The CCS™ is extremely efficient and typically uses 50-70 watts per seat resulting in less than 3% decrease in range.

CCS™ is a trademark of Amerigon Inc.
