Choosing Better Charging Sites

This module is about practical, realistic strategies — not rules or obligations. You know your own needs, your route, and your community better than any app or guideline does.

A few quick checks before you leave can save a lot of frustration when you arrive:

Look for recent photos — winter photos especially, showing snow clearing, lighting, and lot conditions
Read comments and reviews — mentions of "easy to use" or "icy in winter" tell you more than star ratings
Check satellite view — a realistic picture of lot surface, layout, and shelter
Favour chargers near buildings — better lighting, more foot traffic, easier access to help
Avoid chargers on slopes — especially in winter
Note chargers that work well for you — a mental list of reliable sites saves time and reduces anxiety

What "good lighting" actually looks like

Good lighting reaches the ground, not just the charger face. Look for photos taken after dark that show the full area — ground, access aisle, and surrounding space — well illuminated.
