The contracts between GM and the dealership for carrying the brand don't allow either side to make sudden requirements (like installing $200k worth of chargers) without changing the contract - these contracts usually last a long time, so the time for them to renew and require these chargers could be years in the future.

Since GM doesn't want to stagnate on electric cars, they're offering the buyout since they have new electric Cadillacs coming soon and you don't want a dealership to not carry certain cars just because they declined to install chargers.

if what you say is true, what's stopping a dealer from saying no to both options?

I wonder if there is some kind of collective bargaining among dealers in the negotiations with GM, that binds all the dealers. Or if the buyouts are just too good to refuse.
