The huge amount of lithium ion battery waste that will be the result of both electric vehicles and electronic gadgets is going to cause severe problems in the future. Of course the amount of lithium ion battery waste from an electric vehicles is thousands of time greater than that from a cell phone or laptop.
But this is a reminder to properly dispose of the old lithium ion batteries from your old gadgets... They can be very detrimental to your health under the wrong circumstances.
Oh wait, we tried to do that with nuke waste and the NIMSY's (Not In My State) vetoed it.

This is another reason not to get a electric car.
Imagine millions of batteries leaking in landfills or in your car.
Electric cars are a fire hazard and will dissolve you too : )
No wonder food in teflon coated cookware tastes funny : )
I will stick to stainless steel.

FTA: A colourless liquid, hydrofluoric acid is highly corrosive – it can dissolve glass! – and is extremely toxic.
