Karma Unveils Amaris Plug-In Hybrid Coupe, Delays Pure EV to 2027
Karma Automotive unveiled the Amaris series plug-in hybrid coupe at its first Create Karma event in Irvine, California, while announcing a one-year delay for its fully electric Kaveya in response to changing market conditions in the premium EV segment.
Key Takeaways
- The Amaris uses a series hybrid architecture where the gasoline engine acts as a generator, not a direct drive source
- Karma delayed its fully electric Kaveya coupe by one year to 2027 citing changing market conditions
- Solar panel roof provides modest but cumulative range and efficiency benefits unique to Karma's lineup
- The PHEV-first strategy may be tactically smart as pure-EV adoption in the luxury coupe segment trails projections
