Yes they know how to do it but if you read the article it said this:
"It's kind of changed the game for us, [normally] we can use ultra high pressure and put a car fire out in about 19 seconds," said Raymond Reynolds, director of fire and EMS for Nevada Public Safety. "Well, with an EV car, we're looking at four hours and up to 30,000 gallons of water."
