This is why EV's blow up.
In what way and in what form does lithium react with water?
Lithium reacts intensely with water, forming lithium hydroxide and highly flammable hydrogen. The colourless solution is highly alkalic. The exothermal reactions lasts longer than the reaction of sodium and water, which is directly below lithium in the periodic chart.
2 Li(s) + 2 H2O -> 2 LiOH (aq) + H2(g)
This is why EV's blow up: Lithium reacts intensely with water, forming lithium hydroxide and highly flammable hydrogen.

That is why the fire department cannot extinguish the blaze.
Yes:
Water + Lithium = explosion + a chemical fire.
