That's not how charging stations work? 🤷‍♂️

Around me all the charging stations have giant 120” verticals screens constantly playing video ads at max brightness even in the middle of the night, and they’re always arranged in a way that you’re forced to see them even if you’re just passing by the chargers and not using them.

And you just know they are taking advantage of some subsidized energy prices because they’re “green”.

My guess is you're seeing the L2 chargers outside a grocery store or some such. Those charge so slowly you aren't expected to stick around and look at them, you plug in and do your grocery shopping. If you're looking to charge a significant amount, these are not it.

I've never seen a Level 3 charger with an advertisement. Hell, 90% of the time I have to scour the parking lot to find the charger because they're usually hidden and unlabeled.

Bonus points, if you're fortunate enough to have access to a power outlet where you park, you can usually do 99% of your charging from home, ad free.

This is the way.

Well, that's one point in Tesla's favor then, their chargers have none of that nonsense.

Who's to say what crap the toddler king will tack on in the future, but previously and for now, no ads.
