Why does every area of technology advance in leaps and bounds with the single exception of the bloody batteries? I want an electric car I can charge off a frightened pig on a treadmill and drive for a week, dammit.

Yes, they are safe.
However, I don't think they'll last much longer than laptop batteries.
