Solar powered? Not Quite | Image: Karma Automotive<\/p><\/div>\n

Officially launched last week, the first Karma Revero Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) are making their way to dealers across the USA and Canada.<\/p>\n

“Karma has moved from a product development company to an automotive manufacturer,” said<\/a> Jim Taylor, Chief Revenue Officer of Karma Automotive. “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.”<\/p>\n

Designed, engineered, and assembled in California, the PHEV has three drive modes – Stealth (battery only), Sustain (generator only), Sport (battery and generator)<\/p>\n

Revero has an electronically limited top speed of 125 mph (a whisker over 200 kph) and can accelerate from 0 – 97 kph in 5.4 seconds in Sport mode and 5.9 seconds in battery mode.<\/p>\n

The vehicle has a mid-mounted lithium-ion<\/a> HV battery (LiFePO4) with 21.4 kWh capacity. Lithium ion based energy storage is also the type used in many new generation solar batteries<\/a> and LiFePO4 is considered among the most durable and safest in this group.<\/p>\n

An onboard 6.6kW charger enables charging in 10 hours on 120V at 16 amps or 3 hours on 240 V at 32 amps, or to 80% in 24 minutes at a DC Fast Charging station. Apparently the Revero has an all-electric range of 50 miles (~80km).<\/p>\n

The solar roof aspect caused a bit of controversy when announced last year with a spiel that required a little clarification. The solar panel roof actually only has 200W capacity. As to its capabilities:<\/p>\n

“Leave your car at the airport for a week and drive home on the power of the sun,” Karma Automotive now says. “Drive 500 to 1000 miles per year on what Mother Nature provides.”<\/p>\n

Valuable feature or gimmick? You be the judge.<\/p>\n

As for the price, it’s one of those cars that if you need to ask how much it costs, you probably can’t afford it. I asked – USD $130K – and I certainly can’t afford it. All that tech, leather and hand painted badges don’t come cheap it seems.<\/p>\n

Hardly a Tesla-killer, and it’s certainly not being marketed as such, no doubt some folks will still drop their hard-earned (or not) cash on a Revero. Whether enough will do so to sustain production remains to be seen, but the Karma Automotive team seem confident and best of luck to them. They’ve had quite a journey to get to this point.<\/p>\n
