My summary of the whole sorry mess, with links aplenty : Second Fisker Karma Fire Casts Fresh Doubt On Plug-In Hybrid

I think the fire in Texas and this new one in California are related to the same engine packaging issue. The tight space in the engine compartment isn't allowing enough room to properly cool the exaust system. Obviously both cars were running their gas motors before they parked. The one problem I have is some people see this as an electric car problem when it is clearly an ICE problem. You'll never hear about exaust system issues in a Leaf or Model S. Fisker needs to get to the bottom of this fast, they can't afford to let this happen again they've been very lucky that no injuries have resulted from the fires. They also need to get on it because the public is starting to see this a nails in Fisker Automotive's coffin.
