A Chevy Bolt did the same thing about a week ago. Could have easily burned down the house.
My dad's house did burn down, but the cause was a normal car.
Gasoline has a higher energy density than any battery.
Sorry about your dad's loss.
Higher density, etc. -
Gasoline fed fires (by car/s in garages, etc.) are routinely extinguished, most often without extension to an attached house - by urban fire departments with "normal" response times of 5 min or less.
Usually a supply line is laid for back-up, but the 400 gal of water (or more) on a fire apparatus is sufficient for initial knock-down, containment - and often extinguishment.
Put the wet stuff on the red stuff - they go "out"!
