Well, to be fair, location too. I'd be O.K. grabbing live 120V w/ one hand all day long, but I wouldn't be too keen on grabbing power in one hand and ground in another, especially w/ two wet hands.

Because you're posting inane stuff. In the event of an accident, I think worrying about the hundreds, maybe thousands of kWhs of energy in the liquid fuel, that can autoignite at ~500F, still takes priority over a 1+kWh pack, high voltage or not, that will automatically open when the airbags are deployed.
