Unfortunately, sexual assault continues to be a major issue in our society. Sexual assault can occur practically anywhere and at any time – as long as there is someone around with bad intentions. Of course, there are certain factors that can significantly increase the risk of sexual assault.

Tesla Superchargers
Based on numbers from Tesla, the company has over 30,000 Superchargers worldwide. There are over 1,000 Superchargers in North America. These Superchargers are owned by Tesla; however, there are some Supercharger locations that are owned by fleet operators (like taxi fleets, for example) used specifically to use their Tesla vehicles.
The largest Superchargers in California (with a minimum of 20 charging stalls) can be found in the cities below:
- Firebaugh, CA
- Kettleman City, CA (this city has two large Supercharger locations)
- San Francisco, CA
- Santa Clarita, CA
In addition to these large Superchargers, there are also smaller charging stations that have less than 20 stalls each. Supercharger locations are typically in high-traffic areas, very near busy freeways. There are many of these smaller Supercharger locations in the Los Angeles, Long Beach, and South Bay areas.
These charging locations are normally open and available for charging 24/7. These locations are also typically entirely unstaffed.
Sexual Assault Incidents
Sexual assault can be defined as any form of sexual misconduct against someone who has not given explicit consent. Sexual assault can include the following:
- Groping, touching, fondling, kissing, etc.
- Forcing the victim to perform any sexual act
- Attempted rape
- Rape
Sexual assault can undeniably be very traumatic for victims. Of course, victims can sustain physical injuries, which can include the following: sexually transmitted infections, injuries to genitals, injuries to reproductive organs, fractures, scrapes, bruises, lacerations, etc. In addition to the physical injuries that victims of sexual assault can suffer, victims can also suffer extensive mental and emotional harm. Some examples of this mental/emotional harm include the following: post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorder, panic disorder, depression, fear, etc.
If you suffered sexual assault, it is important that you explore your legal options. You might have grounds to file a lawsuit.
Liability for Sexual Assault
Of course, the person you sexually assaulted you could be liable for the harm that you suffered during the sexual assault. In addition to pursuing criminal charges against this person, you could also file a civil lawsuit. Did you know that other parties or entities could also be liable for the harm resulting from sexual assault?
I was assaulted while charging my Tesla at a Supercharger. Can I sue? If you were sexually assaulted at a Supercharger, you could have grounds to file a lawsuit against Tesla. Your right to file a sexual assault lawsuit will be based on premise liability. Based on this concept of premise liability, all property owners have a duty to guests on their property. They have a duty to ensure that their premises are free of any hazards or dangers – including those presented by other people on their premises.
Some details that could actually increase the risk of sexual assault occurring on any premises include the following:
- Lack of security (including on-site security personnel and surveillance cameras)
- Poorly lit areas
- Poorly trained or supervised employees
- Negligently hired employees
Of course, one might argue that there is no way that property owners could foresee any sexual assault incidents occurring on their property. Although there is truth to this statement, it is important to note that property owners can definitely take steps to ensure that their property is safe for their guests. If a property owner made sure to take the necessary steps to promote safety on their premises but an incident still happened, then the property owner might not necessarily be found liable.
What if multiple incidents have previously been reported? In the case of multiple incidents, like sexual assault, occurring at a Supercharger location, then Tesla could definitely be liable. This is because multiple reports mean that the company is well aware of the unsafe conditions on their premises. Any additional incidents could represent a clear lack of action and general disregard for the safety of those on their premises.

- Medical expenses
- Lost earnings
