Legally will never happen. Will be challenged and while maybe they reserve the right to approve new locations with this (minor) stipulation not going to take existing businesses and wack them with a $10k fee like this. And forgetting the purpose or the reason simply not what you do.
It seems like there are ways to make this legally viable. Perhaps raise the business license fees for gas stations by $10k a year and then offer a rebate for stations that install EV charging. I feel like that would pass legal muster, if they could make it work politically.
