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?

    Yes, so they shouldn’t create a strong incentive for it. People tend to break or ignore laws that they feel the majority doesn’t like (see speed limits and minor tax/insurance fraud)

        You can’t really “break” a disability spot and leave it “open to everyone” in the same way as an electric charger

          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.

        Yes, because drivers generally feel compassion towards disabled people.
        ICE drivers do not generally feel compassion towards EV drivers.

          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.
