The Karma consumes «4 cents a mile» worth of electricity.


At $4/gallon, a 35 MPG smart car uses up 11¢ worth of fuel for every mile.

I, for one, would love to buy an $80,000 car just so I can save 7¢ per mile in fuel costs. I figure I will break even in only 857,000 miles

The big idea behind the Karma, which will initially cost $80,000 while in limited initial production
Check out the Chevy Volt, it will be a lot less and hit the market sooner.
