Leaving aside "sitting for an hour" (?), isn't it much safer to charge 99% of the time in your own garage and never have to regularly step out of your car alone at a dark gas station on the corner?

Even on a long drive you leave home with a "full tank" without having that first stop to gas up.

Yeah - plus superchargers are typically in busy public areas often with security (unlike many gas stations).

It feels fairly contrived, I'm skeptical it's not just anti-ev motivated reasoning.

No need for security, Tesla owners watch out for each other.

To put it another way, people charging EVs tend to look out for each other and help each other. At Tesla chargers, since they have multiple plugs in one spot, there are often other friendly people there charging so you feel safer and more secure. So even without security guards it is a good setup for leaving your car or for being there in a strange parking lot.
