  • “no one parks there until the charger is fixed”

    I disagree. That is a waste of valuable space (real estate). If a driver has to park to read a sign (or figure out whether a station is broken), that is ridiculous. Ticketing officers can easily tell if non-activation is due to the station owner or the driver. If a transaction is the condition for parking, and the station owner cannot complete the transaction, the driver cannot be penalized for that failed transaction.

    If I park in a bakery parking lot “for customers only” and go in to buy a loaf of bread, the baker can’t refuse the transaction because his oven is broken, and penalize me instead for parking without buying bread. The driver is not responsible whatsoever for the baker’s broken oven and it would be ridiculous for the baker to penalize him for parking with intent to be customer.
