16 Fisker Karma hybrids EXPLODE and Burn during superstorm Sandy
Approximately 16 of the $100,000+ Fisker Karma extended-range luxury hybrids were parked in Port Newark, New Jersey last night when water from Hurricane Sandy’s storm surge apparently breached the port and submerged the vehicles. As Jalopnik has exclusively learned, the cars then caught fire and burned to the ground.

Our source tells us they were “first submerged in a storm surge and then caught fire, exploded.” This wouldn’t be the first time the vehicles, which use a small gasoline engine to charge batteries that provide energy to two electric motors, had an issue with sudden combustion.

Lesson, don't park your electric car in salt water.
Seriously there was a week warning of the storm surge, yet no one could be bothered to move a $100K car to higher ground? Lets hope the insurance companies don't pay for these. Next time they will move cars out of the way.
