Karma begins deliveries of the Revero luxury plug-in
Wed, May 17 2017
While it's a big deal for the customers who had preordered the Revero, it's a transformative moment for Karma, as Chief Revenue Officer Jim Taylor points out. "Karma has moved from a product development company to an automotive manufacturer," he says. "We have completed the critical steps to become a true luxury vehicle OEM. The launch is a great accomplishment for our Company and all our team members."
The range-extended luxury EV hasn't changed much since its first life under the oversight of Henrik Fisker. The Karma Revero has two electric motors providing the rear wheels with 403 horsepower and 981 pound-feet of torque. A 21.4-kWh battery provides up to 50 miles of electric-only driving range, while an onboard gasoline generator extends that range to 300 miles. It can do 0-60 miles per hour in 5.4 seconds, and has an electronically limited top speed of 125 mph. It features 50:50 weight distribution and auto-leveling suspension for optimal handling.
Karma has dealerships in Pasadena, Fort Worth, Atlanta, Miami, Palm Beach, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Toronto, and Montreal.
