I'm asking for opinions, not playground insults. You're ok with parking twice if a charger is broken and that's fine with me. I don't think that wasted time should be on you (and everyone else later that day, week, month, etc.), and I don't think a prime parking space should be left unusable indefinitely. But you do you.

I've seen chargers being left broken for over a year. In the meantime, there was no way to tell whether they'll ever be back online.

I see no reason why the parking space should be left unused. The whole purpose is to charge, not to remove parking spaces and be a nuisance.

As I said elsewhere, a crook who wants to park illegally has no reason to also damage the station. "I was allowed to park there because I broke the charger". Yeah sure cute.

It's the number that's bigger than any other.

I precisely explained why it's ambiguous. Everything is based on the assumption of a functioning charger. Without that, everything falls apart, the sign, everything.

djt and maybe his crew said that, not me.

It's included as the third bullet point in the summary.

So what about when a charger is broken? What would you do if you parked to charge, get out to pay and plug, and you see the charger is broken? Do you stay to run your errands, or do leave to look for a new space? That's what I want to know.

Look, if someone wants to park in a charging space illegally, he doesn't have to break anything. But in my experience, there is less of that ("ICE-ing") than a few year ago.

Whether it "should" is irrelevant. It's always been multilingual, and expecting people to change is nonsense.

He'll make them do bad stuff and then throw them under the bus.

 

Eh … now you don’t know what to think huh? 🤔🤪😆

 

In one Canadian town, the issue is whether the parking space becomes a space for anyone, or whether it is reserved for a charger technician. No rule on this is written and one has to guess. What do you think?

 

Suppose you park at a public station near where you're about to do errands. You're expecting to, and you want to, charge your EV, but when you get out of your EV, and try to tap your card, you see that the charging equipment is broken. What do you do?

Do you leave your car there to make your errands, or do you move out and start looking for another place to park?

I'm not asking about what to do about the broken charging system, who to call, or what app to use to be a good citizen. I'm asking what you would do with the car in the moment.
