Car batteries are usually lead/acid ones which wont catch fire in water, but Li-On batteries will catch fire.
Lithium is a monofuel which doesn't need oxygen to burn and reacts very badly exposed to water, and exposure to the air is problematic as well.
The best way to put them out is to bury them in dry sand or earth, but where is this in an area that's just been flooded out? A firefighters nightmare.

I thought it was something like that, and having firefighters prepared with a dump truck of sand is probably also not practical.
Just addit to the list of reasons why EVs are not the savior it was sold.
They could be if they were built using hemp. Not a joke fren, see here.

I was aware of that one, also the nano-diamond batteries that generate a charge through decay of radioactive material.
My thought was that dude should open source that one as a suicide prevention, if it works as advertised.
SAND + LITHIUM ION BATERY--------------> GLASS MOUND 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😍😎😎😎😎😎
