Just get rid of the charging stations. It's ridiculous that EV owners should expect to charge their cars anywhere but at home or at work.

Batteries and liquid fuel are both hazardous in terms of catching fire, do you mean something else?

One can use natural gas (usually combined with some amount of gasoline). In terms of safety - if you've ever seen gas stations with concrete walls between fueling spots, that's where this is popular, so not very safe.

I've not seen those (may not be in my country). What do the concrete walls stop, explosions?

It's cheaper and more dangerous, and usually done where natural gas is much cheaper than gasoline. Yes, explosions.
