About Karma 

Southern California-based Karma is more than just a car company. Although we 
are best known as a creator of soul-stirring luxury electric vehicles, Karma 
produces commercial vehicles and automotive technology platforms. Founded in 
2014, Karma is reinventing the traditional retail-based automotive business 
model by opening its engineering, design, customization and manufacturing 
resources to other companies looking to speed product development, access new 
technology, or make their products more luxurious. The Revero GT, Green Car 
Journal's 2020 Luxury Green Car of the Year(TM) is a luxury electric vehicle 
powered by dual electric motors that embodies Karma's goals of offering leading 
automotive design, technology, customization and an outstanding customer 
experience. Our retail partners in North America are now delivering the Revero 
GT to retail customers and will begin offering a performance version, the 
Revero GTS, later in 2020. Every Revero is created with great individual care 
and world-class craftsmanship at the Karma Innovation and Customization Center 
in Moreno Valley, Calif. For more information, visit: www.karmaautomotive.com,
