    I never thought about the waiting time for charging being a dangerous aspect of the vehicle. It definitely makes sense though in certain areas.

      From my experience it’s usually the opposite though, you never need to visit a gas station for your commute, because you always charge at home, and when you’re charging your car on a roadtrip you’re not standing outside for multiple minutes, you plug it in and go and stretch your legs or grab something to eat in the restaurant next-door or just take a nap in the car or watch YouTube for 15-20 minutes.

      I’d be much more worried about filling up at a gas station, the typical place where people get robbed and assaulted, EV charging stations is not somewhere people up to no good hang out.
