the water is not put on to extinguish the fire its to try to cool the remaining battery pack down so far that it doesnt ignite from the ones already burning ( think string of "double happies")
but then the vehicle must be monitored for 3 days afterwards just in case it re-ignites.
i repair allot of stuff with lithium batteries, the main issue i find is that they are trying to fit as much power into the same space and to hell with any safety measures. i had to recharge a dead flat battery about the size of a dolphin torch battery. i put it in a cast pot on my back lawn while charging. it ignited and burnt the grass underneath as it got the pot so hot.

as for the RU increases its more BS tax grabbing and virtue signalling

The cells out of tool batteries are great to shoot on the range.
