I drive an EV and when I use public chargers I see ads on them too.

Wait, really? I haven't seen that yet. Idk what country you're currently in, but in Canada, almost every level 3 charger I've ever used is like a dumb phone display

But don't don't you want that ice cold Pepsi™?

Seeing this makes me want to scream and cry

I would seriously play with my keys on this thing.

I'd bring a good center punch to "play" with every nozzle at the pumps.

Does the ad need to be playing to dispense fuel or would these work just fine if they got accidentally dropped really hard?

Guess they had to follow EVs lol. Some EV stations near me have big ass signs that show advertisements. It’s not enough you’re paying to charge your car, you also need to be shown more ads.

I’m just grateful my car doesn’t show it inside.
