Do you park your car in an attached garage?

Even inside a garage, the difficulty in fully extinguishing the car is somewhat irrelevant. Suppression of the fire, ie, containing it so that nothing else catches fire, is identical for ICE and BEV. It just takes longer to fully extinguish a battery fire.
