Confirming the military should not follow through with illegal orders.

Disability parking spaces are respected despite no vandalism required.

Well if a charger is broken, it makes no sense to reserve the space for charging. A sidewalk analogy would be whether a sidewalk is "broken". If 50 feet, or 200 feet of the sidewalk was missing, people would consider parking there.

Exactly! I thought of Norm when I wrote it, but forgot about it when I read this question. LOL What an amazing joke that was. 3 punchlines ... "you never seen anything like it" LOL.

That's vandalism.

The entire issue: by-law, signs, reserved space, is built a charger that is working. The purpose of everything is to charge a car, not to prevent parking. Without a working charger, everything collapses and EV drivers are not affected at all.

I probably should have posted this as a survey so as to avoid impressions.

That's ambiguous because users don't know if the case of a broken charger was considered or not, or whether repair is even scheduled.

The only reason I see to reserve a space for EV is for charging. Unless there is a working charger, it makes no sense to me to prioritize EVs. The 3 possibilities I see when a charger is broken:

  • The space is for anyone, like other spaces in the area (because a broken charger is a brick)
  • The space is reserved for a technician.
  • The space is for any EV.

I see different people having different opinions, which is why I need this discussion.

Makes sense but when it happens, you actually don't know what to do. Leaving a vacant space to drive around the area looking for another spot makes you feel like an idiot.

Not a bad idea except I think they'd block traffic. I think the technician is simply another worker trying to park on the street to do his job like anyone else trying to park. No one seems to know yet if they actually need to plug the cable anywhere.

Just to be clear, you think a parking space with a charger, broken or not, is reserved for an EV. Correct?
