I don't think you get gasoline fume _explosions_ at stations much because there's nowhere for a significant amount of fumes to build up. Don't go imagining I'm happy about handling gasoline, either, though.

I didn't say fumes. Plenty of people are careless and spill gasoline on the ground or car, or fill up unsafe containers. A misplaced cigarette butt coming into contact with liquid fuel and you've got a situation. Simply put, chargers are safe enough. Perfection need not be the enemy of good.

Gasoline doesn't explode; it burns. Fumes explode, so I thought you were talking about fumes. I don't fill unsafe containers and try not to spill it. I'm still not happy about handling it and am not convinced it's "safe enough". Maybe I'm just weak. 🤷 Comparing V to gas doesn't make it look good.

Attached garages, at least where I live, have to slope to daylight to get leaked gas mostly outside. Eventually if we go all EVs that requirement will likely go away.
