On April 25, 1996, Ford Motor Company announced it would conduct one of the largest recalls for a safety-related defect in the history of the U.S. Department of Transportation. The recall covered approximately 7,900,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles in the U.S. from model year 1988 through 1993 for a defect in the ignition switch causing the cars to catch ablaze spontaneously (NHTSA recall number 96V-071).
Although battery fires can easily reach 1500C, and involve reactions that generate oxygen, meaning that depriving the fire of oxygen isn't enough to put it out. The best you can typically do is just let it burn itself out. This works better when your EV is parked outside the home.
