What the water dumping is for is making sure it doesn't re-ignite on its own, it's not needed for the immediate firefighting at all.
People imagine firefighters picking up a flaming EV with a crane and dumping it into a container of water - it doesn't work like that :D

Here's one submersion system: https://www.garrisonflood.com/ev-fire-fighting-water-submersion-pool https://www.garrisonflood.com/ev-fire-fighting-water-submers... It requires a significant more water to put them out. Hence it's more efficient to just submerge them in water than it is just dumping water on top of them.
