I'm not passing judgement on the proposal, I am merely pointing out that there is no need to "provide EV parking" to comply - all that is required is a single spot, which obviously already exists otherwise the gas station itself would not exist. If a gas station is so busy supplying internal combustion vehicles that it cannot free up even a single spot for a charging station, then presumably they can also afford to pay the fee.
It's true that it would be better for the user of the electric vehicle to have some stuff to do nearby the spot where they are charging, but in this hypothetical situation where a gas station is so small that they can barely cram a single charging spot in, presumably the gas station is also located walking distance from plenty of shops, parks and other facilities.
