Seen new Karma?



Luxury; no pretense of being as thrifty as say a Prius. Wider than a full sized PU, as heavy as one ( about 5,300#), has a range of about 300miles.

The gas motor is designed to start only after the electric is totally drained.

Car was meant to be fun, handle well, but is not really spacious as far as many passenger/luggage, because of typical battery space needed.

Car's debut delayed several times, but seems to be ready to go now
at $100,000.

They state that the overall mpg rating on this ( which is always interesting
how they come up with these figures for electrical cars) is 51mpg.
