Yes, I agree with pavement the deformation is elastic so no net energy
transfer. I don't think you need larger displacement though. The
electromagnetic force is very strong so you can get significant energy from
small displacement. But of course how much will depend on the actual
mechanism the

You are putting energy into the pavement when you walk pavegen tiles or not.
You apply force to the pavement when you transfer your body weight from one
foot to the foot hitting the pavement. The bonds in the molecules making up
the pavement supply a reaction force by stretching ever so slightly,

Yes; but you get almost all that energy back. The pavement is staying
within its elastic limit, and bounces back to its original shape --
i.e. it is not permanently deforming.
Energy is force
/It's irrelevant to study the amount of displacement. The important fact is
that what ever energy is produced came from a person's expenditure! I
think, other than for a novel experience, most people would abhor trudging
around on energy sucking pavement./
Abhor it? Really? I can see abhoring

Why charge cars? They should do this anyway to run the lights
