Seems like there is a bit of stink associated either way, so I wouldn't be so "holier-than-thou" about driving electric vs. gas.

Over-charging a lead acid battery can produce hydrogen sulfide. The gas is colorless, poisonous, flammable and has the odor of rotten eggs. As a simple guideline, hydrogen sulfide maybe harmful to health if the odor is noticeable.
No odor when charging Lithium batteries.
