But I suspect your training and experience with car fires is substantial compared to EV fires. I suppose I didn't meant to say they are simple but rather well understood.
I wonder when there are literally hundreds of unique popular models of EV on the road, whether there will be issues arising from having innumerable unique designs for battery packs, first responder lines etc.
In many ways EV fires are easier (gas or gas vapors from a ruptured tank can flow quite a ways away from the vehicle, potentially unnoticed, before igniting; batteries don't tend to flow well...). It's just water, water, and more water...
Tesla in particular is actually quite good about providing training materials for dealing with their vehicles, including facilitating the production of some excellent videos on hazards during extrication.
