Where do you live that this seems wise? Gas stations are dangerous, high crime places. One of the perks of an electric car, to me, is never going to a dangerous gas station again.

Uhh . . . where do YOU live that getting mugged at a gas station is something to regularly worry about AND you can afford an EV?

Wouldn't San Francisco check both of those boxes? It's easier to afford an EV than to afford to live there, and it has a major crime problem.

SF has a major property crime problem, getting mugged (at a gas station or otherwise) is more of a Texas/Deep South problem.

But remember that GGP just said "Gas stations are dangerous, high crime places." The word "mugged" came from someone else.

Where do you live that gas stations are "dangerous, high crime places"? That is extremely abnormal, I don't identify with that at all. Of the hundreds of different gas stations across the country I have frequented in my life, there have only been a couple that might be described as "sketchy".

There are probably a few parts of a relatively nearby large city where I wouldn't go out of my way to gas up late at night. But I can't personally think of a time when concern for my safety was something I remotely thought about when getting gas.

No worries, it will be easier to get mugged on superchargers.
