"Karma says its first fully electric vehicle, the Kaveya, will arrive in 2027 and use semi-solid-state battery cells from Massachusetts-based Factorial Energy. Solid-state batteries widely seen as the holy grail of battery tech, and most car companies don't anticipate incorporating them until at least the end of this decade. But semi-solid-state batteries are just barely getting off the ground too,"
"When Fisker Automotive went bankrupt in 2014, Chinese conglomerate Wanxiang bought its assets and rebranded the company as Karma. This should not be confused with the much more recent bankruptcy of Fisker Inc., which was Henrik Fisker's second attempt at breaking into the EV market with the Ocean SUV. Over the years, Karma has sold several iterations of its Revero extended-range electric vehicle (EREV)."
Karma Automotive, formed from Fisker Automotive's 2014 bankruptcy and acquired by Wanxiang, plans several new electrified models over the next few years. The company announced that its first fully electric vehicle, the Kaveya, will arrive in 2027 and use semi-solid-state battery cells from Factorial Energy. Semi-solid-state and solid-state batteries remain early-stage technologies with no current U.S. production vehicles using them, and most automakers expect solid-state adoption later this decade. Karma positions itself as a high-end, extremely low-volume manufacturer, aiming to pilot advanced battery technologies across three- to five-thousand-unit annual production. Karma has previously sold iterations of the Revero extended-range electric vehicle.
