Karma launches sales of plug-in hybrid in 5 European markets

Karma Automotive has begun European sales of the Revero plug-in hybrid luxury sedan after the company’s launch in the region was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.

The Chinese-owned U.S. brand had booked a stand at the 2020 Geneva auto show, where it was also hoping to sign up more dealers, but the show was canceled on Feb. 28. “Coronavirus stopped us in our tracks,” Rogier Kroymans, Karma’s head of sales and network development in Europe, told Automotive News Europe.

The company currently has five dealers in Europe, one each in the Netherlands, Sweden, Portugal, Spain and France.
