unlikely. electricity is easier to control safely than gas.

you don't need to start out full blast with electric cables. ramp up over a minute if necessary. we are also well versed in circuit breakers, and digital safety checks.

oh the cable isn't correctly connected? no power.

How many simultaneous safety system failures are needed for a problem to occur? Multiply the odds of that by the number of charging stations in service worldwide, which is a pretty big number.
