Simple economics - those car parks with charging will be able to charge more for parking than those without. Operators will get a higher return to fund the installation of chargers.
Absolutely no different to current situation where charges relate to location and adjacency to shopping centres, quality of lighting, size of parking bays etc etc. Folk are free to choose.
If charging facilities genuinely become a constraint in the transition to EV the government can always change the rules. I am sure charging operators carefully monitor usage of facilities and will happily invest in extra capacity if they can make money.
Creating rules and regulation where none are needed is pointless. Capitalism (for all its flaws) often solves these issues without government meddling.
