  We introduce a new version of expansiveness for flows. Let $M$ be a compact
Riemannian manifold without boundary and $X$ be a $C^1$ vector field on $M$
that generates a flow $\varphi_t$ on $M$. We call $X$ {\it rescaling expansive}
on a compact invariant set $\Lambda$ of $X$ if for any $\epsilon>0$ there is
$\delta>0$ such that, for any $x,y\in \Lambda$ and any time reparametrization
$\theta:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$, if $d(\varphi_t(x),
\varphi_{\theta(t)}(y)\le \delta\|X(\varphi_t(x))\|$ for all $t\in \mathbb R$,
then $\varphi_{\theta(t)}(y)\in \varphi_{[-\epsilon, \epsilon]}(\varphi_t(x))$
for all $t\in \mathbb R$. We prove that every multisingular hyperbolic set
(singular hyperbolic set in particular) is rescaling expansive and a converse
holds generically.
