Could this dream car be your Karma?

The Karma Revero, a range-extended luxury electric vehicle, was on display Wednesday at the state Capitol.

“It’s an EV without the drama of range anxiety,” said Karma Automotive President Marques McCammon.

The car, which is priced starting at $140,000, can drive 80 miles on battery power before switching over to a gas-powered generator for a combined range of 380 miles.

“This represents the future of California,” said Assemblyman Corey Jackson, D-Riverside, who dropped by the display.

“We want to make sure that communities all over the state are benefiting from the economic engine that they produce,” said Jackson.

Karma Automotive manufactures the luxury electric vehicles in the legislator’s district.

Besides its Revero hybrid, the automotive manufacturer also introduced the Kaveya super coupe GT and the all-electric Gyesera sedan earlier this year.
