Last week, a fire badly damaged the home of a new Fisker Karma owner, and authorities are saying that the electric car was the source of the blaze.

According to Fort Bend County, Texas, chief fire investigator Robert Baker, the Fisker Karma started the fire that spread to the house.

“Yes, the Karma was the origin of the fire, but what exactly caused that we don't know at this time,” he said. The car was a complete loss.

Well, let's not jump on ye olde bandwagon just yet. A proper investigation is needed, but as with the Volt, the car needs press like this like it needs a hole in the head.

Here we go again. roll eyes

“The build sheet is the wish list of any racer: lightweight high-revving dry-sump LS7 engine; carbon-ceramic brakes; integrated coolers; true aerodynamic downforce, and a significant reduction in curb weight. This car could only come from Chevrolet, and could only be called the Z/28.”

I wonder if we'll have another huge NHTSA investigation including questioning Fisker's CEO in front Congress. rofl

Again, it's probably improper installation of the charger.
