I am not so sure about that, especially in the US.
While some gas stations may be in badly lit areas, a lot of gas stations are in pretty well-lit and well trafficked areas.
In addition, with pay at the pump and the speed of filling a car, you can basically tap your credit card, fill up your car, and be out of there in 2-3 minutes. Even a minute’s with of pumped gas will probably give you a 100 mile range.
And if you have kids, in the car, maybe sleeping, they can remain in the car while you pump gas.
An EV charge will take at least 15 minutes minimum maybe more. You likely have to go find somewhere nearby where you can sit and wait for your car to charge.
