Guess: The "with a charger" aspect increases the total physical footprint of a parking space. (Ditto cost, infrastructure, etc.)


Obviously you can park an electric SUV in a parking space without a charger, just like you can park an ICE SUV in a parking space without a gasoline/diesel pump.


I know of zero parking lots/structures, however new or trendy, which feature fuel pumps.

But - at least around me - EV chargers seem to be mandated (for at least for some of the spots) when any large or image-conscious organization builds or renovates parking infrastructure. For the purpose at hand, it doesn't matter whether the mandate is legal, or just "or what will they say about us on social media???".
