It will be fine. At worst it runs the resistive heating coils like a normal electric water heater.

Electric resistance heat is slower to heat than gas, so if you take long showers or do shitloads of laundry, buy a bigger tank than you have now.

It's 20 min not 30. Section 12-913-1-c-2 https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/philadelphia/latest/philadelphia_pa/0-0-0-285267

Well right after it says you can't park in a designated bicycle lane, but if there are no parking signs at the bike lane, who knows whether b or c applies. That's probably the confusion.

It is allowed. Philadelphia law says that a place that is signed "no parking" you have 20 or 30 min before you can get a ticket. There are some exceptions, like you can't do this in front of a driveway (even your own driveway for 5 min while unloading groceries...got a ticket that way).

No stopping signs mean no stopping at all. No standing means you can stop to let people off, but it effectively means you can stay as long as you want so long as you are in the car.
