Kaveya Super-Coupe Exudes Exceptional Levels of Customization as Global Premiere of “GT-UV” Design Study Takes Multi-Terrain Capability in a Bold New Direction

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif., July 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Perhaps no location greater epitomizes the grandeur of California, making Monterey Car Week the ideal stage and moment for Karma Automotive to clearly state its intentions: to become the first American ultra-luxury automaker since the departure of the greats — Auburn, Duesenberg, Packard and Pierce-Arrow — in the late1930s.

Karma Automotive’s itinerary at Monterey Car Week commences at “The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering” on Friday, August 16, at 10am, when the company will reveal the production-ready interior of the striking Karma Kaveya super-coupe; together with the Global Premiere of the “GT-UV” Design Study (name to be announced), which creates a new vehicle segment to be occupied by Karma alone. The stunning Karma Gyesera four-seater will join Kaveya and the “GT-UV” on the Karma Automotive stand at The Quail.

On Saturday, August 17, at the Monterey Motorsports Festival at the Monterey County Fairgrounds, the Karma Kaveya will be shown alongside the 3rd Generation Karma Revero, which features a trailblazing E-REV (Extended Range Electric Vehicle) powertrain that seamlessly blends electric and ICE power, delivering both impressive range and exhilarating performance.

On Sunday, August 18, at the 73rd Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the Karma Kaveya will grace the Concept Lawn concurrent with the Concours taking place on the Pebble Beach Golf Links Hole 18 Fairway. Preceding these events on Thursday, August 15, Karma Automotive President Marques McCammon will host a private evening reception for its valued clients at an undisclosed location.

Moreover, beyond the beauty of its cars alone, Karma will continue to share insights to its intellect, innovation, and capability which further certify its entry to the ultra-luxury pantheon, with additional press announcements to follow as Monterey Car Week approaches.

Exceptional Personalization and Customization
“Every Karma we build will be shaped to fit the person who is driving it, owning it, and loving it,” says Marques McCammon, President, Karma Automotive. “We’re going to show the world how we create experiences on a very personal level, and those experiences will manifest in the way the cars look, drive and feel, and also in the technology we offer.”

The 3rd Generation Karma Revero, which begins delivering to clients in the 4th Quarter of this year, will be the first production vehicle to demonstrate the company’s highly curated approach to personalization. The public’s first glimpse of that capability is revealed with the Karma Kaveya’s production-ready interior, which makes its Global Premiere at Monterey Car Week.

Global Premiere: Karma Kaveya with Production-Ready Interior
Presently undergoing development testing and anticipated for 2026, the Karma Kaveya is draped in carbon fiber bodywork with butterfly doors, offering up to 1,000 HP of pure electric power with estimated pricing from $300,000 (USD). At Monterey Car Week, the Kaveya’s production-ready interior breaks cover, demonstrating the company’s fastidious attention to detail and exceptional capability for personalization.

The central hallmark of Karma Automotive’s new design language is the Comet Line, which forms a wake from the Kaveya’s nose through its bonnet, enshrouding its cockpit then tapering downwards to its conclusion through the butterfly doors, capturing an aura akin to a stealth jet. Its interior, evocative of spaceflight, is built to suit each client’s every demand in concert with Karma Design, and Kaveya’s interior atmosphere will benefit from the first-ever in-car audio system by luxury audio brand, Master & Dynamic.

The interior of the Karma Kaveya as specified for its Global Premiere draws inspiration from Alchemy; the interaction of interior surfaces and textural contrasts between gloss black, suede and leather, punctuated by metallic elements that quietly shimmer orange and blue, as if fired in a kiln. Midnight blue leather produced in partnership with Bridge of Weir conjures the vastness of outer space, completing a cohesive narrative from the Kaveya’s exterior Comet Line and “Interstellar Silver” paintwork through to its interior. Non-essential displays remain hidden until summoned, following a “reductionary” approach that enables the driver to remain focused on the pleasure of driving.

Global Premiere: Karma “GT-UV” Design Study
With its name and further details to be confirmed following the Global Premiere, the Design Study establishes a new segment of multi-terrain capable vehicle, the “GT-UV,” or Grand Touring Utility Vehicle. Its signature Comet Line draws exotic proportions, projecting an otherworldly boldness to deliver a dramatic four-seater concept unseen before in the ultra-luxury segment, or anywhere else.

Please stay tuned as more news continues to be released detailing Karma Automotive at Monterey Car Week.

January 11, 2025

Docking Drawer, the leader in in-drawer outlet solutions, is set to showcase its newly configured Safety Interlock Outlets for appliance garages at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas this February 2025.

SAN RAMON, Calif., Jan. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Docking Drawer’s Unwavering Dedication to Safety

“At Docking Drawer, we’re not just creating products; we’re setting new standards for safety and functionality.”

When it comes to safety, no one in the industry matches the focus and innovation of Docking Drawer. Their Safety Interlock Outlets for appliance garages bring a unique, forward-thinking solution to an often-overlooked area in kitchen design. These safety outlets automatically de-energize an appliance garage power source when the cabinet door is closed, ensuring that appliances are safely powered off when contained inside the cabinet.

Docking Drawer is also the only company dedicated to creating in-cabinet electrical solutions that meet the strict code requirements of the Canadian marketplace. Their Safety Interlock Outlets are designed to make in-cabinet electricity compliant in Canada while offering consumers in all regions an additional layer of safety for in-cabinet power.

Advanced Limit Switch Technology

Docking Drawer’s Safety Interlock Outlets for appliance garages utilize an advanced Limit Switch system, designed to work seamlessly with power outlets concealed by a cabinet door. This intuitive feature detects when the cabinet door is closed, instantly cutting power to the connected outlet and all powered appliances.

Now Compatible with Any Appliance Garage Door

An updated Limit Switch feature now offers different switch options to accommodate all appliance garage door types, including traditional cabinet doors, pocket door setups, and more. The newly designed Limit Switch now offers two functions to choose from:

Power Off When Limit Switch is Depressed: This state is ideal for traditional cabinet doors, where closing the door depresses the switch to cut power safely.Power On When Limit Switch is Depressed: This state is perfect for pocket doors, where the door being pushed back upon opening activates the switch, turning the power on.

Customizable Connectivity

The flexibility of Docking Drawer’s solutions also allows for connecting multiple limit switches to a single safety outlet or vice versa, offering customization options to adapt to the unique demands of any project.

“At Docking Drawer, we’re not just creating products; we’re setting new standards for safety and functionality,” states Scott Dickey, founder of Docking Drawer. “Our Safety Interlock Outlets represent the culmination of our dedication to innovation and empowering homeowners and professionals with safer, more organized spaces—even beyond the kitchen and bathroom.”

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Jan. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Over 85 governments from key mineral-producing and consumer nations, including 16 countries from the leading G20 economies, and 50 ministers and 13 vice ministers – have confirmed they will join the 2025 FMF Ministerial Roundtable on January 14, 2025.

The Ministerial Roundtable, a multi-stakeholder, government-led initiative, is the traditional opener of FMF, spurring international action to increase investment in mineral supply and build capacity in the Super Region of Africa, Western and Central Asia, and other supply regions. It is set to be the largest and most senior gathering of mineral resources officials in the world

Discussion will cover progress made over the past year on the three Ministerial Roundtable initiatives:

Development of an International Critical Minerals FrameworkEstablishment of Centers of Excellence to build capacity in sustainability (Morocco), talent development (South Africa), and technology innovation (Saudi Arabia).Advancements in Certification Systems to ensure responsible mineral sourcing.

His Excellency Khalid Al-Mudaifer, the Vice-Minister for Mining Affairs of Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, emphasizes that, “The meeting is an important step towards achieving sustainable development in the minerals sector globally. It is an ideal platform for delivering solutions, developing legislation on best practices in the field of sustainable mining, and exploring ways to invest in mining projects to achieve economic and social development in producing countries.”

Joining him are high-profile leaders, including ministers from supplier and financing like Brazil, South Africa, DRC, India, Egypt, Italy, Nigeria, Qatar, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Malaysia, Thailand, Morocco, Indonesia, France, USA and the United Kingdom, discussing opportunities for global cooperation.

“This year, discussions will seek to enhance collaboration between governments, industry, and communities to drive more investment in minerals, and development through value addition in supplier countries. We want to support the pressing need for sustainable mining practices, resilient supply chains, and value-driven partnerships in the minerals industry.”

Importantly, the outcomes of the Ministerial Roundtable are not confined to the event itself but form an ongoing, year-round program. Regional Coordination Groups will continue to drive the implementation of key initiatives.

“FMF is emerging as the largest global hub for minerals collaboration and action – no other platform brings together government ministers and senior industry leaders at this scale.” Al-Mudaifer concluded.
