Gravel, Mud & Seasonal Ground

Many charging sites outside city centres are on gravel lots — practical and affordable, but challenging:

Ruts form with repeated vehicle traffic, creating uneven and unpredictable footing
Freeze-thaw cycles heave and shift gravel surfaces each spring
Mud season — spring thaw turns gravel into soft, unstable surfaces
Loose gravel shifts underfoot — making balance harder when lifting something

The paved pad solution

The most practical solution for gravel lots is a paved pad — concrete or asphalt covering just the accessible charging stall and its access aisle. This doesn't require repaving the whole lot. A well-constructed paved pad provides a firm, stable, level surface exactly where it's needed most, at a fraction of the cost of full lot paving.
