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?

I’d never heard a spot could become reserved for a technician. It makes sense but that kind of rule would need a lot of signage and public communication.

I think the rule should be “the technician can park in the spot. If someone parked there, the technician double parks and blocks them in until the repair is done”.

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.
