Key Takeaways

• Captive Audience: Users are stationary for 20-40 minutes during fast charging.
• Premium Demographics: EV owners generally have higher disposable income.
• High CPM Rates: Advertisers pay more for guaranteed attention and dwell time.

The psychology of a wait is a powerful tool for marketers. Unlike a highway billboard that is viewed for 3 seconds, a charging screen is viewed for several minutes. Operators can leverage this by offering “Extended Content” like movie trailers, product demos, or interactive games. MIDA’s ad-integrated chargers allow for “Lead Generation” directly on the screen—users can scan a QR code to download an app or sign up for a newsletter while they wait.

This high level of engagement is what makes these units a superior investment for advertising networks and site owners alike.
