“The only way I can see to safely transport EVs in bulk like this is in some kind of hermetically sealed container vessel, where the oxygen levels can be reduced enough to inhibit combustion.”

That’s the problem with EVs (Lithium Ion batteries), the Oxygen they need for their batteries to burn is already in the cells. The only hope to keep fires from spreading is to cool down adjacent cells, as the fires cannot be smothered.
