First there was the Chevy Volt with a problem of catching fire. Now we have the Fisker’s Karma with similar problems. Just last week, a Fisker owner parked his electric car in the garage and in less than three minutes the car caught fire and the fire spread to the house. The car was reportedly not plugged in at the time and the investigating fire marshal said the battery was intact.
As usual I have to over analyze everything, so my conclusion about electric cars is that they cost a lot of money to get a few extra miles, you have to charge them, and they catch fire.
It’s going to take one heck of a marketing campaign to convince smart people to buy them.
Maybe if they did away with the battery and just run the car with a really long extension cord. Then if it caught fire, you could just unplug it.
