When a charging station on a street side public parking space is broken, the parking space is for ... care to guess? (lemmy.ca)

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?

If it's a public charging space, It's only supposed to be used for charging.
When you aren't charging, you leave and find a public parking space.

I would say that applies to all vehicles, if the charger is broken or not.
Maintenance vehicles are always a special acception. They park wherever needed to get things working again.

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.

Sounds like a problem between you and your therapist.
