Karma Automotive Unveils Strategic Vision at Create Karma 2025
At its annual event, Create Karma 2025, held in Los Angeles, Karma Automotive showcased its strategic vision for the future, emphasizing workforce development, community engagement, technology advancement, and product innovation.
Workforce Development
Karma Automotive fosters a people-first culture that encourages a growth mindset at every level. They focus on designing human-centered systems and execution strategies to support employee development, collaboration, and sustainable performance. This approach includes evolving performance reviews from mere evaluation to development, building feedback loops for dialogue, and implementing digital tools designed to enable rather than overwhelm employees.
Community Engagement
The Create Karma 2025 event highlighted Karma’s commitment to making a tangible community impact. Karma Automotive leverages events like this to generate innovation while involving local communities, promoting corporate social responsibility, and aligning corporate values with social causes. This approach mirrors broader trends in CSR, including education, skill development, and social justice engagement programs.
Technology Advancement
Karma advances electric vehicle (EV) technology with a strong focus on pushing the boundaries of luxury and performance in EVs. This is exemplified by the unveiling of their new hypercar, the Kaveya, at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, featuring a fully electric powertrain with up to 1,000 horsepower, a 120-kWh battery pack, rapid charging capabilities, and top-tier performance metrics (0-60 mph in under 3 seconds, top speed of 180 mph).
Product Innovation
Karma innovates not only in performance but also in design and user experience. The design leadership, including Vice President of Global Design Nicholas David, is focused on redefining luxury EVs by blending technology and craftsmanship. Create Karma 2025 serves as a platform for unveiling such innovations and accelerating their development cycle, integrating user feedback and emerging technologies.
The event was structured around three core themes: Community, Technology, and Experience. Karma Automotive also showcased its latest lineup, including the third-generation Karma Revero and Revero Invictus, as well as offering an exclusive preview of forthcoming ultra-luxury EV models. The world premiere at the event was the Karma Amaris, an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) performance coupe, projected to enter production in late 2026. Pricing details for the Karma Amaris will be announced at a later date.
Karma Automotive reinforced its commitment to advancing software-defined vehicles (SDVs) and artificial intelligence, with its partnership with Intel Automotive aimed at pushing the boundaries of SDV technology. The event underscored the transformative role of emerging automotive technologies.
In addition, Karma Automotive introduced the Clean Transportation Technology Collaborative, a multi-stakeholder initiative for workforce development. The initiative partners with institutions such as CerraCap Venture, Inland Southern California United Way, Orange County Business Council, San Diego State University, Sustain SoCal, UC Irvine, and UC Riverside, aiming to equip Southern California’s youth with skills for the future of the automotive, software, and clean energy industries.
Karma Automotive reaffirmed its commitment to blending performance, sustainability, and design excellence, as the Amaris exemplifies the evolution of Karma's Comet Line design language, featuring a lightweight carbon fiber and aluminum body. The Amaris boasts a refined EREV powertrain with a turbocharged four-cylinder internal combustion engine generator, capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in under 3.5 seconds and reaching an estimated top speed of 165 mph.
