This would work for lead acid, where the electrolyte is water based, but
li-ion cells have an organic solvent based electrolyte.

I had an idea once. Dump the electrolyte in a fire. That stops the
battery reaction and stops the fire. I'd bet you could make a
heat sensitive relief valve (at the bottom) and as the battery heats
up, it would dump the electrolyte (which is getting hot anyway and
would either
pour via gravity or perhaps boil out the relief valve).
It would make a mess...but I bet it would work.

This might work, but the fact is that nearly all EVs have metal-oxide
(ie cobalt) li-ion cells than make their own oxygen internally.
Basically a fire blanket is useless in an EV fire, and might even
exacerbate an EV fire by holding in the heat.
What works is water applied liberally and continuously to the battery
pack to keep the undamaged cells in the pack cool.
Thermal management, rather than oxygen starvation (which is impossible.)
