LOS ANGELES: Karma Automotive announced the expansion of its Revero series with the addition of a GTE variant.
The GTE will be the company’s first all-electric vehicle that will join the GTS, GT and original Revero as the fourth model in the family.
There will be two model version of the GTE which starts with a 320km and 480km-range configurations at first with a hyper-range variant coming later that's said to be able to achieve an estimated 640km of range.
The 320km variant will come with a 75kWh NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) lithium-ion battery while the an extended range 480km will have a 100kWh NMC battery.
