Lived score 57, 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 it2.0 / 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 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

1475 Tharp Road, the New Earth Market chargers. FOX40 reported that police tied two raids to this station: four cords on August 31, 2026, and nine more reported September 4, with three arrests after stripped copper turned up in a Subaru. Check that cables are actually on the pedestals before you pull in hungry. It is a small-city retail lot. The risk on record is copper, not the walk to the door.

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.

Not in the FBI 2024 table of the 200 largest reporting cities this almanac transcribes. No city rate is applied. What you feel here is the lot, not a downtown statistic.

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.

Traveler notes

Nobody has written on this stall yet. Regulars usually know which door actually opens after ten.

Leave a field note

Score 5 if the stall feels easy, 1 if it feels off. Notes are public and anonymous — no names, plates, emails, or phone numbers.

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.
