Karma Automotive is a privately owned American luxury electric vehicle company founded in 2014.

[3][4][5][6] In February 2014, Chinese auto-parts supplier Wanxiang Group purchased assets of Fisker Automotive for $149.2 million in a bankruptcy auction.

In early 2016, Karma Automotive enlisted a straw buyer in an attempt to reverse engineer technology from a parts supplier and former employee.

[12][needs update] The company began building the Revero in 2016 at its factory in Moreno Valley, California, with production set to begin in late 2016.

[16][needs update] On April 11, 2019, Karma Automotive issued a recall and stop-sale order on all Revero vehicles, due to a flaw in the roll over sensors which would disable the side-curtain airbags.

Karma's Innovation and Customization Center has the ability to build the frames, chassis and bodies, integrate the powertrain and finish the cars in its robotic paint shop.

[4] In November 2019, Karma Automotive laid off 200 employees at its Irvine, California headquarters due to financial difficulty.

Karma announced its intentions to license its electric vehicle platform to other automakers in order to generate more revenue.

[27] Karma plans to remake the Revero GT as its halo vehicle, upgrading the model with an all-wheel-drive powertrain said to offer in excess of 1,100 hp.

[25] The GS-6 is a range-extended, plug-in hybrid vehicle capable of traveling up to 330 miles (530 km) with combined electric and combustion engine power.
