Patience can bear such wonderful fruit, can't it? The electrified (and
electrifying)
Karma, which first graced the world with its presence back in
2008, has managed to negotiate the slalom course of funding and logistical issues that faces any new upstart company and can now boast its very first production unit. The Karma 1 above will be making its way out within a month (presumably after every nook, cranny and capacitor has been polished to perfection) and company spokesman Roger Ormisher says the plan is to ramp up very slowly and carefully, reaching "over 7,000 deliveries" by year's end. Considering the
rate at which
Leafs and
Volts have been selling so far, that doesn't actually sound half bad.
