“Karma serves as a technology incubator,” said Karma CEO Lance Zhou. “We are opening our product platform to serve as a test bed to help potential business partners bring emerging innovation to market and increase the speed of our own product development.”

“As a young and growing company, Karma is not shackled by legacy costs or bureaucratically weighed down by how things have been done in the past.

“Karma’s strength comes from our entrepreneurial spirit and willingness to collaborate and drive technology solutions forward through design, technology and importantly, the personalised relationships Karma has with its partners.”

The new office will be led by Karma VP Business Development and Strategy, Lewis Liu.

Karma is in a period of rapid product introduction, including the US launch of its 2020 Revero GT luxury electric vehicle, to be followed by an all-new fully-electrified global platform in 2021.
