I would have called BS on your inspector. I am a licensed Canadian motor vehicle inspector and venting/sealed battery boxes are not specified in the Canadian rule book. However, batteries in the cabin must be non-flooded (aka sealed AGM, etc.), as the batteries in the Electric Booger are.

Many brand new medium and heavy duty trucks are built with an unsealed battery box under the passenger seat. Of course, they have Optima Yellow Top AGMs in there.
