At the time it seems that Karma Automotive wanted to offer its investor from China, the Wanxiang Group, a &#8216;magic show&#8217; as a last attempt to keep the financing going.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly before that report, Karma Automotive had just presented its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/2020\/04\/13\/karma-unveils-autonomous-e-van-on-e-flex-platform\/\">electrified platform called E-Flex<\/a> and its first BEV model, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/2020\/04\/17\/karma-automotives-first-bev-to-drop-in-2021\/\">Karma Revero<\/a>. Senior employees in charge at the time such as COO Kevin Pavlov are said to have left the company in the meantime.<\/p>\n<p>As <em>Jalopnik<\/em> now writes, at the time of the April report, several Karma employees contacted the editorial office to confirm the information. The report spoke of an &#8220;alarming litany&#8221;, ranging from bad treatment of employees to poor workmanship, downright deception and even a problem with fruit flies in their cafeteria. The company responded to its employees with an internal letter to the employees where the company said that many facts had been misrepresented.<\/p>\n<p>Karma Automotive emerged from Fisker Automotive, a company founded by Henrik Fisker, and since 2015 it has been part of the Chinese automotive supplier Wanxiang, which has apparently stopped supporting it. Henrik Fisker himself is now active with his new company Fisker Inc. and wants to launch a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/2020\/01\/06\/fisker-ocean-to-retail-for-37499-in-the-us\/\">new electric SUV, the Ocean<\/a>. The Karma Revero is basically still based on the layout of the Fisker Karma as an electric car with range extender.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update 01 July 2020<\/strong>: Meanwhile Karma Automotive has reacted to the <em>Jalopnik<\/em> article and denied that they are planning an insolvency after Chapter 11 and massive job cuts. &#8220;This article, along with a similar article published on April 23, 2020, contains both untruths and misrepresentations,&#8221; the company said. The &#8220;fictitious nature of this content&#8221; could easily be identified.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Karma admits that the situation is currently complicated. &#8220;The entire automotive industry was extremely hard hit by the pandemic. Despite these challenging conditions, Karma will aggressively focus on pursuing ambitious and exciting opportunities that benefit from its unique technologies, products and solutions,&#8221; the statement said. Wanxiang Group &#8220;fully agrees with these activities and has provided additional financial support&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The statement, which is not attributed to any manager personally, concludes by saying &#8220;We are here today, we will be here tomorrow and we will be better than ever before. We look forward to building that future together with you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jalopnik.com\/karma-is-heading-for-chapter-11-sources-1844136394\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">jalopnik.com<\/a>, <em>update via email<\/em><\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135019"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135019\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/131353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
