As electric vehicles become the norm, many property owners are adding charging stations without realizing the structural implications. From increased vehicle weight to new electrical demands, these upgrades can introduce unseen stresses that impact safety, longevity and performance.

Parking garages face unique challenges from constant vehicle traffic, weather exposure and chemical attack that can quickly degrade concrete structures. At Restocon, we leverage cutting-edge materials and innovative restoration techniques—like corrosion-inhibiting mortars, flexible joint systems and traffic-bearing waterproof membranes—to enhance safety and durability while minimizing downtime. Preventative maintenance and comprehensive assessments further extend the lifespan of these heavily used facilities, ensuring they remain safe and functional year-round.

As the world shifts toward more sustainable transportation solutions, electric vehicles (EVs) have become an integral part of the future of mobility. However, as parking facility owners and operators eagerly embrace this green revolution, they must also grapple with the concerns surrounding the impact of EVs and EV charging stations on structured parking facilities. Two critical factors demand attention in this scenario: the weight of electric vehicles and the electric load requirements of charging stations.
