INNOVATION: MARQUES MCCAMMON

PRESIDENT, KARMA AUTOMOTIVE

WHY: New executive leading Irvine-based luxury EV maker, OC’s fifth-largest automaker with about annual vehicle sales of 400 as of 2022. McCammon has 30 years of experience in the transportation industry.
IN THE NEWS: McCammon’s hiring in April preceded Karma’s multiyear plan to debut at least one EV per year over the next two to three years. Current portfolio consists of GS-6 sedan.
QUOTABLE: No plans to offer price points lower than $90K. “Once we start going below that, we’re competing with the likes of Tesla and everything that’s going to come from Cadillac, Ford or GM. That’s not where we want to live.”
