Probably the batteries, yeah?

Yeah, lithium batteries are well known fire hazards.
And once they get going, they get going, google thermal runaway for some interesting videos.
To fight a thermal runaway you need to cool it down fast, ice is commonly recommanded.

I think all the ice is being used to kick out illegal immigrants though.
-
EV fires are fought by flooding (most commonly)
-
Ohhh, ice for the required melting energy? I thought that would be offset by the more difficult handling and lower flow rates. Interesting.
-
No, no, you just deport the battery so it explodes in someone else's country.

So would a snow machine work ?
-
No, but snow would probably be effective at cooling down a battery experiencing thermal runaway
