    I also don’t have to worry about being mugged inside the store, having things stolen from my vehicle, or even the vehicle itself stolen, or having my credit card skimmed and stolen.

    Most of those things could happen regardless of what kind of car you have, or where your car is.

      They don’t happen if you don’t go to the gas station. If my car is electric I don’t need to go to the gas station.

        You don’t need to go to a gas station for most of those things to happen, either. Actually, a gas station is probably safer that your average store parking lot, so you should probably avoid those as well.

        Now that I think about it, any time my cars have been broken into, I have been home. Any time my card was skimmed, it wasn’t at a gas station.

        Your fear of gas stations seems unrealistic.
