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?

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.

How is that ambiguous? You can only park there if you're charging. If the charger is broken, you're not charging, so you can't park there.

It's only ambiguous in the sense that, you could park there, and run an extension cord to the closest building and plug in and now you're technically charging but not using the city's charging infrastructure as I'm sure they intended when they wrote that sign.

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.

That's not ambiguity, that's you willfully misinterpreting a definitive statement.

I don't know what the sign that you parked at said, because you haven't told us. I do know that you're arguing against literally everyone in this thread trying (unsuccessfully) to get anyone to agree with you. Based on that, I'm guessing the problem wasn't with the signage.

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.
