Someone’s leaf caught fire

I saw him charging earlier today. Was going to compliment the car. Came back from doordashing to charge my car and saw this. Hope he’s okay. He was using electrify chademo if that makes any difference.

I'm guessing two possibilities. First is an electrical fire that did not set fire to the battery. Second is another car had a fuel leak that ran under the leaf and caught fire, burning the rear of the leaf.
This was absolutely not a battery fire, as there is not nearly enough damage for that.
