No, I don't. But at some point it will happen because AFFORDABLE battery technology means a lot of acidic toxics. At least with petrol, it is sufficiently volatile that it will evaporate off (unless it meets a spark or hot surface), but it's a danger we're more or less used to.

Have you never used ALKALINE batteries?

Current battery technology is not affordable or you would be driving some sort of hybrid now.

Not all batteries use toxic or corrosive material. The batteries that have the best potential to be affordable for this purpose happen to be the ones that do not use particularly toxic, explosive or corrosive material.
