'Most people won't want to convert one car parking spot' >> I guess then it comes down to who decides the parking spot allocation rules. Politicians/city managers who are accountable to city residents? I'd imagine a lot of car drivers are people coming in from the suburbs outside the city who do not have voting rights, whereas bike/scooter riders are more likely to be local and could vote in the city elections. >> Or alternatively, the city could just mark/paint out dedicated spots on the existing sidewalk that are currently underutilized (i.e. out of the way of existing pedestrian traffic) and that ends up with more city revenue. Plus with dedicated spots, the scooter charging team then can further optimizing the daily charging routes.
