stop-off point
Explanation:
A city could hardly become a "charging station for electric vehicles"! However, by providing charging facilities, it could become a stop-off point and thus draw people in, who would then use the city's commercial and cultural facilities.

Notes to answerer
Asker: You're right, of course. I was so focused on the term "relais" that I overlooked "devenir"! As soon as I submitted the question, I realized the "error of my ways"! Thanks for pointing this out - and for the excellent suggestion. Wyley
