Solo after dark

60

3.0 / 5 on the question we ask with women traveling alone at night in mind. Anyone can answer from the stop they made. This is still the first look — the crowd hasn't weighed in.

Seven ways a lot can feel off

  • Lanterns4.0 / 5

    Canopy, storefront, and the stall row itself after dark.

  • Company4.0 / 5

    Other people, open businesses, and eyes on the lot — versus a highway island.

  • Solo after dark3.0 / 5

    Would you charge here alone at night? Rated with women traveling solo in mind, and from the stop you actually made.

  • Leave it4.0 / 5

    Smash-and-grab and cut-cable feel. Five means you'd leave a bag in the car; one means you wouldn't.

  • Unbothered3.0 / 5

    Whether people come to the window, ask for money, or linger at the stalls.

  • The walk4.0 / 5

    Restroom, coffee, food: how far, how lit, and whether it's open when you arrive.

  • The lot4.0 / 5

    Sightlines, cameras, which row is the dark one, and whether the exit is obvious.

First look

Edgewater Public Market, 5505 West 20th Avenue. News placed a May 3, 2023 road-rage shooting in this Supercharger lot, by the Shake Shack side: two Tesla drivers, one man killed. Read it in the news log. It is not the same thing as a lot with nightly break-ins. Day to day this is a suburban market yard. Edgewater is not in the FBI 200-city table, and Denver's rate is not borrowed for the score.

Wattfolk's read of the setting, written for a first visit. It is not a police score, and traveler notes below can move it.

City around the lot

No citywide rate is applied to this pin.

Edgewater is its own city and is not in the 200-city table, so Denver's rate is not borrowed. Nearby Denver's 2024 extract was about 993 violent and 4,762 property per 100,000 — context for the metro, not this address.

US estimates used for the nudge: 359 violent and 1760 property crimes per 100,000 in 2024 (USAFacts, from FBI national estimates). A city rate is not this parking row.

    Fatal shooting in the Edgewater Public Market lot

    Jefferson County authorities said Jeremy Alan Smith shot and killed Adam Fresquez on May 3, 2023, after a road-rage confrontation. Both men were in Teslas and had pulled into the Supercharger in the Edgewater Public Market parking lot, by the Shake Shack. Smith was later charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter. It was a dispute between two drivers, not a string of lot robberies — and it is still the thing to know before you stop.

Wattfolk is an independent field guide, not Tesla. Tesla's own site says 80,000+ Superchargers worldwide. The pins here are the open sites in the supercharge.info directory of that network, with stall counts from the same list. A Glow is a first look or a traveler score. Other pins show a paper score: the citywide crime rate, plus any verified news at that exact site. A blank 60 means neither was on file. It is not a review of the lot. Crime figures are citywide rates, not the parking lot. The news log is reported incidents, not a complete record.
