Lived score 62, with no city-rate nudge on file.

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

  • Lanterns3.0 / 5

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

  • Company3.0 / 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 it3.0 / 5

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

  • Unbothered4.0 / 5

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

  • The walk3.0 / 5

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

  • The lot3.0 / 5

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

First look

Tanger Outlets, by the Mellow Mushroom. On March 7, 2025 a man was charged after molotov cocktails were thrown at these stalls during a spate of attacks on Tesla sites. The outlet lot is otherwise a standard shopping stop — busy when the stores are open, large and quieter after close. Charleston's city rate is not applied to North Charleston.

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.

North Charleston is not given Charleston's city rate. They are different jurisdictions, and North Charleston is outside the 200-city extract used here.

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.

    Molotovs thrown at the Tanger Outlets stalls

    Federal prosecutors charged Daniel Clarke-Pounder, 24, after a March 7, 2025 attack on the Supercharger by the Mellow Mushroom at Tanger Outlets. FITSNews reported he spray-painted the area and threw molotov cocktails, setting several stalls on fire, and caught himself on fire while throwing them.

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.
