When a gasoline powered car ignites most of the energy is burned above the car in the flames in an oxygen environment essential for combustion. All the energy in a battery pack is in the battery pack and needs no oxygen. Thus, that fire is more difficult to contain.

Exactly. It is a chemically combusted fire, not dependent on temperature or a short to make it happen.
