I'm wondering if there's anything that can be done with an EV car to kill a battery fire. They usually seem pretty extreme. I want to say that I heard about a Tesla that was sent to a lot after a crash or something that caught fire. THe FD went out and battled it for hours. They'd get it out and then it would reignite. The ended up digging a whole and making a mud puddle big enough to submerge the car in. That was the only way that they were able to permanently defeat the fire.

And evidently the way the US building industry is reacting to the incidents of EV car fires is mandating the installation of sprinkler systems in new parking garages larger than 48,000sf.
