The car, which is likely to cost between USD 70,124.41 and USD 90,902, will run 3,600km non-stop on a single complete charge, Sultan bin Hamad Al Amri, CEO of Noor Majan which is manufacturing the vehicle, was quoted as saying by the local media.
The vehicle is expected to run without any maintenance for 21 years, he said. According to him, the air conditioner in the car is solar energy-based and can run 24 hours a day.
The proposed plant in Oman is expected to come out with about 120 cars each year.
In the car, the doors open to the top and the vehicle will be fitted with massage chairs, Al Amri said.
The parts of the car, including the 800-horsepower engine, are manufactured in Japan, America, Germany and Hong Kong.
"The idea of manufacturing the car struck me in 2008 during a visit to London, where I saw the Reva. I felt we could manufacture the car with altered specifications, design and style," Al Amri was quoted by 'Times of Oman' as saying.
Al Amri said he sought the help of an expert Jordanian engineer and visited car factories in Japan and the United States. Last year, he along with five engineers, including three Omani with expertise in manufacturing electric cars, undertook a feasibility study.
"The project study took a full year," Al Amri said. "We have already got preliminary approvals (for manufacturing the cars) from the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Affairs," Al Amri said.
