The card yard does not look like your typical park it yourself airport carpark the way the cars are boxed in. The car in question is an MG EV and the battery tray has been completely removed from the underside of the car shown sitting on the ground forward of the front wheels. It was probably removed prior to the fire for some reason perhaps theft and could have been deliberately or accidentally damaged.
If you're going to steal a 400 kg battery pack, it'd be much easier to steal the whole car.
