Question 7

What is an EREV (Extended Range Electric Vehicle)?

Accepted Answer

EREV stands for Extended Range Electric Vehicle. Karma vehicles use a plug-in hybrid system that combines a pure electric drivetrain with a BMW-sourced turbocharged engine that acts as a generator. You drive on electric power first, and the range extender kicks in when the battery is depleted, giving you 300+ miles of total range with zero range anxiety.

Question 8

How far can a Karma vehicle travel on electric power alone?

The Karma Revero offers approximately 80 miles of pure electric range, with a total combined range of over 300 miles. The Gyesera and upcoming models are expected to offer even greater electric-only range.

Question 9

What makes Karma different from other luxury EVs?

Accepted Answer

Karma stands apart through handcrafted American manufacturing, limited production numbers ensuring exclusivity, the EREV powertrain eliminating range anxiety, and a design philosophy rooted in creating continuous awe. Unlike mass-market EVs, each Karma is individually crafted at the Moreno Valley, California facility.

Accepted Answer

Karma vehicles come with a comprehensive warranty package including a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty, a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, and an 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty. Specific coverage may vary by model year.

Question 21

How often does a Karma need maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Karma recommends service intervals every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Because the EREV system uses regenerative braking, brake wear is significantly reduced compared to conventional vehicles, lowering overall maintenance costs.

Question 22

Accepted Answer

You can place a reservation deposit online through our website. Deposit amounts vary by model ($5,000 for Revero/Gyesera, $7,500 for Amaris/Invictus, $10,000 for Kaveya). Your deposit secures your place in the production queue.

Question 26

Do I need to install a home charger?

Accepted Answer

While not required (Karma vehicles can charge from a standard 120V outlet), we recommend a Level 2 (240V) home charger for the fastest and most convenient charging experience. A Level 2 charger can fully charge a Karma Revero in approximately 4-5 hours.

Question 27

Are there federal or state tax incentives for Karma vehicles?

Accepted Answer

Tax incentives vary by model, year, and your individual tax situation. Some Karma models may qualify for federal EV tax credits of up to $7,500. Florida does not charge state income tax, providing additional savings. We recommend consulting with a tax professional for specific guidance.

Question 28

What happens if the battery runs out while driving?

Accepted Answer

This is the beauty of Karma's EREV system — you never have to worry about running out of charge. When the battery is depleted, the BMW-sourced range extender automatically activates, functioning as a generator to power the electric motors. You can continue driving and refuel at any gas station, giving you over 300 miles of total range.

Question 29

How long does the battery last?

Accepted Answer

Karma batteries are designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle, backed by an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty. The battery management system actively monitors and optimizes battery health to ensure long-term performance.
