Here's the thing: tax revenue is based on floor space. As buildings are razed, tax revenues go down. This is also why real estate holding companies want to raze buildings, to reduce their tax liability.
This is the main motivator. I am also sure the owner will get some tax credits to open an EV charging station. What I find the most hilarious is when I come across a charging station and there is a DIESEL GENERATOR next to it.
