Key Takeaways

• Foot Traffic Driver: Attract affluent EV owners who stay longer and spend more.
• In-Store Conversion: Use the screen to promote daily deals and loyalty programs.
• Closing the Loop: Directly link charging sessions with store purchase incentives.

Retailers are uniquely positioned to benefit from ad-integrated chargers. A customer charging their EV at a supermarket is a captive audience. By utilizing the integrated display, the retailer can showcase “Flash Sales” or “Limited Time Offers” that are only available while the car is charging.

Technically, these units can be integrated with the store’s POS system to offer “Free Charging” for customers who spend over a certain amount, with the validation code provided via the ad screen. This creates a high-tech, seamless experience that builds brand loyalty.
