    My local gas stations just play ads on the payment screen. There was a mute button (usually top right, even if it was unlabled) but some have disabled that. I keep a note of those who do and have stopped going there.

    Remember folks, Advertisment is theft and vote with your wallet.

      If it has four on the left and four on the right of the screen, it is one down from the top right.

        No because you just plug in and walk off or sit in your car, I can’t think of any sane person that would spend money on advertising on an EV charger

          It could end up similar to the gas pump where whatever payment system is there will play ads before you pay for the electricity. You can even pay extra to skip the ads.

            Subscription LIFE.

            Low income people are starved for knowledge (can’t afford college) but drowning in information (can’t avoid ads).

            I hate this timeline.

          Shell has/had charging points that are attached to like 8 foot tall digital billboards. At one point they were playing tiktok lifehack content on them, presumably because nobody wanted to buy space.

        Yes and no…

        Yes, you can just walk away, but your car is there for longer.

        If its like the chargers at my local food shop, they are plastered with bigger and louder ads, but as before, go do other things.

        If its a super-chaeger on the highway, your sorta stuck there.

        EV chargers are a significantly more connected station.
